Bug stuck in the rear brake light

So I was taking stuff out of my trunk and notice there is a weird object in my brake light....A dead bug....anyone else run into this or know how to get in there and get it out?

hey that's better than showing up at home with um ladies undergarments there instead...
your dad would be proud...
mom on the other hand...
get yourself better for next season...
we want to see your arse on ESPN!

as for the bug...
you are going to have to take the light off and vacum it out...
hand twist nuts are behind the carpet liner in the trunk...
pretty easy...

Perhaps it’s a good indication that you may need to check out some things with the light. I would think if bugs could get in so could water and I wouldn’t think that would be good. Good luck and hope to see you hit one out of the park soon!

I, too, used compressed air. Worked like a charm.

Are you talking about one of the taillights or the third brake light?
