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.

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.
