Stupid bug died inside my tailight!

smallseafishie · 05-01-2008, 09:44 PM

I gotta bug inside my tail light!

Will this be hard to get out? I wonder if BMW will warrant this for lack of proper sealing.

Any suggestions???

csupernova · 05-01-2008, 09:46 PM

Even water cant get inside the tailight. I wonder how the hell the bug could got in.

Mattscott · 05-01-2008, 09:47 PM

That bug has probably been in there since the car was in Germany.

+1 lol its tough for a bug to get in. hmm better report this to homeland security for foreign bugs on american soil by process of tailights of automobiles. hmm as for your problem i dont know lol u could try the dealer.

That sucks dude. I had something similar myself. I got an LCD TV about a year ago, and it had a spider in it! Still alive too! He was just crawling around for a week or so before he finally died.

I'd definitely bring that into the dealer though. I don't see how they wouldn't replace that for you.

You can put a peice of rubber hose (thin hose) on your vacuum cleaner and snake the thin hose into the light bulb hole and suck the little bastard up. I had some debris in my lights on my mustang I just rebuilt and thats how I got the stuff out.

pittyinSC · 05-01-2008, 10:24 PM

German Bug nice

Inside tail light

Bring it up with ya dealer though, they should def replace the tail light
for you since they really aren't that expensive or hard to replace.

The taillights on the e90 are not airtight. You can take the bulb housings out without even removing the taillights.

dzenno · 05-02-2008, 05:21 PM

i know about the bulb housings but the spider is stuck too deep in between the plastic
