Tail light Help!!!
Tail light Help!!!
I have no idea how this happened. There's a dead spider in my taillight and I have no idea how it got in. I tried popping out the reverse light and used an air blower with no success. I don't want to take the housing apart. Any other suggestions? This is literally "bugging" me lol. It's right under the reverse light.

Same problem.lol. Mine is in outer tail lights so I guess it's just another reason to replace the ugly Amber tail lights. I was thinking that maybe vinyl wrap, like the redouts might hide the spider too.
Sounds like u guys live in a spider forest.
Only thing I think of is to take that rear tail lights out. Shake it off like Tayler Swift said. Use tweezer or something.
Btw that's a really huge spider in the pic. Your advertising spider lights decal.

Reminds me of when I was going to buy used ISF tail lights off someone... It had a GIANT spider in the turn signal area, squished between the outer and inner plastic. I went ahead and bought new lights instead 
I wonder if the tail light factory has a spider infestation.....

I had a dead spider in my CHMSL (third center brake light). It was even more annoying than the one you posted, since I could see its reflection at night on the rear window glass every time I stepped on the brake after dark. Fortunately it was relatively easy to remove.

Have you tried using a shop vac? Remove one of the light bulbs and stick shop vac hose on the opening. May help --- not sure as I have not had this issue with my IS but it did help on a different car that I owned, that time it was a fly. Good luck
