Default Dead spider inside of rear tail light!

Hey guys,

I just noticed a dead spider inside of my left tail light. I know it's not a major deal but, it really bugs me that it's there. How do I get it out?

LOL!

I believe that there's a bulb in that section - you can remove the bulb and put a vacuum hose up to the hole. Maybe.

yup remove the bulb, use a vacuum hose or air pump hose or similar bigger the better, insert into shop vac and then use duct tape to wrap it up, turn on and extract.

Or try to get it fixed under warranty LOL
