Must save Xenon
ok so i was cleaning my rims today because they looked really bad.
Then i noticed that my bix had lots of bugs on them so i was going to wipe them off when i see a spider. I was going to flick him off but realized he was inside my bix. so i named him Xenon but i don't want him to die in a bix. so besides taking the lens off any ideas how to get Xenon out. i have also been puzzled how he got in their? i checked the rear covers and they were on tight and the rubber seals are good. any other ideas on how he got in there.

...a panty dropper...
I have the same thing but its a fly in the rear left tail light. I am thinking that maybe it layed eggs in them while waiting to be shipped and then it hatched and now its stuck inside. I left him there for now since he adds an extra 5hp to my car haha. Good choice of a name for the spider. I want naming the fly tail light, haha. There is a DIY on how to remove the lens cover somewhere. Times ticking and xenon needs a meal.

But there is a DIY removal of the lens that is not going to break them or anything at all somewhere. You must not have bought the xenons that came with $100 in each of them as a rebate, lol.

lol i thought that i could throw money at it and it would turn into a slk 55 amg. lol i meant that after i did all that hopefully i would have the cash to buy one. i want to have a white 2006 slk 55 amg with all the goodies. i also never plan on selling my c320 because it isn't really worth enough to sell it and i love it. lol and it is most likely going to be the burial grounds of Xenon.

Vacuum is the answer for "Xenon" - Lens removal with a hot air gun is a real mission. I'd rather provide Xenon with an expensive coffin than remove the lens - poor Xenon

Ha. I had a spider get inside the car once, and he was living in the defrost vent.
I tried to get him out, as obviously, there'd be no food for him inside the car.
Every day I got in there was spider webs all over the place, for like 2 weeks!
I had to wonder where he got the spit, or whatever it's called to make a web with no water or food. I tried leaving the windows open, that he might leave...or catch something...
but alas, I think he finally simply perished from starvation and lack of water.
