Rep Power: 283 lol, o $****, i never seen that before. Damn, how did that lil focker get in there? There's gotta be a crack somewhere that these bugs are gettin into. I think you're gonna hafta unseal the lights and reseal in order to take it out. Just my 2 cents.

Rep Power: 0 Well im glad ya'll like my bug delima i guess im going call a exterminator and get my car sprayed every month 
They dont bother me enuff to unseal b/c my cars not a show car....yet..... But im gonna try the vacum thing or maybe a bent clothes hanger with something sticky on the end of it try that.
or take my brakelight off and shake the damn thing around and see what prizes come out? I'll let ya know what happens

i used to have that happen to mine too when i had them. i had them get on the inside and that right by the silicone which is where it looks like that one is. it looks like it is in the 1/4" gap between the silicone and the end of the lense. try using a knife or if that doesnt work, use a high power hose to blast that damn fly out of there. hope that helps.
