Dead Spider in Taillight

jayyp · 08-11-2021, 07:14 PM

Hey all!

Just wondering if anyone has ever had an issue with a dead spider in the taillights? I just found one in one of the outer taillights as pictured below. Any idea on how to remove it? Thank you!

Compressed air?

I get about one a week. I just politely ask them to leave.

I would just set fire to the car and call it good

Super common in headlights and taillights. They're warm and cozy.

Compressed air like another user said or great time to upgrade

I had some dead fly in mine and was to shake it out.

How do these critters get in there? Aren't headlights and tail lights sealed?

Nope. All headlights and tail lights have at least 3-4 vents.

The constant temperature variances require this.
