Angry Stupid altezza taillight

As I was waiting in the parking lot of an oriental grocery store for my mother to finish chaning my niece's diaper, I noticed something weird with my tail light. Besides the worry of the little baby's poop getting onto my seat, I looked real close into the bottom of the tail light. There is a dead mesquito inside the housing, wtf? Then I continue looking, and found another one just around the corner. Quickly charging to the passenger side tail light I found the same problem, two dead pests!!! I really liked the altezza light no matter what people say, I think the pattern is nice, big circles. However, now with stupid dead mesquitos residing inside the housing, I think its time for me to put the stock back on. Its not very noticable unless you stand real close to it. But I dont' want to have ghetto tail lights. I will probably get the 05 tails and pop'em on. I really dislike the stock ones that came with my 03, the horse shoe shape is just ugly to me. Or maybe if anyone would know how to get mesquitos out of tail lights?

If the pest found a way in, you can find it a way out.

Man, that sucks. Why are they so attracked to tiny little crack or holes to crawl in anything????? But if I do get some compressed air, how do I go about blowing the bugs out? I think I can get those spray can air duster thing, would that count as compressed air?
