dead bug in headlight housing
 

so out of no where i found a dead bug in the headlight, which is like a month after i moded my lights. I have no idea how the hell it got in there. Do uou guys think i can just take it out from the behind fender wall? i know that i can just shake it out of the housing but taking replica amuse off and put it back on is a huge pain. ill just some picture later

haha I think this happened to someone else on here. Just leave it in there as a trophy :tup:

Haha Alex! I knew it was you after seeing the title.

Best advice is to shake it out. You can blow compressed air into it to get it away from that area but it also means you're blowing dust into it too. I'd say take your time to remove everything to get it out.

You can probably use a vacuum attachment to suck it out. I dropped my LED in there when installing and the vacuum almost worked to get that out...

I would suggest blowing some compressed air in through the bottom until you get it either somewhere you can't see it or get it out completely.

Most likely you're going to have to deal with it just being out of sight.

Only problem is you risk getting moisture (that liquid that comes from the compressed air) in teh housing and dust as well... that will be much harder to remove... I'd start with the vaccuum if I were you.

maybe ill bend two strings to chopstick it out. dont worry im chinese, massive skills

Yeah this happened to me too :facepalm:

I might use this as an excuse to open up my headlights and paint the housing black.

We'll fix it on saturday.

Wow that's so strange. Shouldn't happen to a never opened headlight.

I had a spider get stuck in my old rx-8's tail light. I would try removing the headlight hitting it with an air gun.

Now that's funny. Kind of like opening a can of lichee fruit from China and finding a fly.

:nutswinger:

Goona be cracking them open to paint the housing so I can take it out then :tup:

Yeah between my dumbass and E/W, we should be able to knock your lights out pretty quickly.

Looking forward to it :tup:

bringing this back because now there is a dead bug in the bottom corner of my headlight.. someone please help with a solution! They have never been opened and now that's all I see when I look at the front of my Z

Hey, if it gets in front of the lens, does it make like the "Bat Signal" ?

Then EVERYBODY will want one! :rofl2:

Have you tried putting a small vacuum hose up to where the light bulb would go in? Or modifying that with something to make it fit in better? I dropped a light bulb in there once and tried this with a vacuum. it almost worked but the bulb was slightly too heavy to suck up all the way.

Or you could possibly try an air nozzle and blowing it out?

I'll try the vacuum.. :ugh2:
