Default Dead bugs inside headlight

Hello,

I just bought a S2000 and I didn't notice this when I was checking out the vehicle.

But I have two dead bugs inside the right headlight.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it out?

I checked the internet and found out that you can take the cover off using a heat gun, but I'm just checking if there's an easier way.

Thanks

Take the headlight off, fill it with some windex and swish it around till the bug comes out one of the openings, drain the windex and let it dry. It'll leave a nice spot free shine.

it's what happens when we approach light speed... the bugs don't get outta the way, they get sucked into the vortex.. I dk how else to explain it.. that.. or they are bugs from the 8th dimension came through when your thrust capacitor shorted...




na, seriously.. got to be one of the holes... lamps or ballast...

Leave it be. I had a small spider in my taillight a few years ago and eventually it dries out and turns to dust.

Thanks everyone! I think I'll do the windex method. I'm too impatient to let it turn to dust
