Dust in one tailight?
Hey guys so i noticed that one of my tail lights looked different then the other one. I took a close look and one seemed to be a bit darker. You could tell more on the clear part of the tail light. After close inspection, it appears that dust or dirt or something got caught inside of the one tail light. I'm not sure how it got in there through where. It's kind of bizarre. Does anyone know what i can do about this? Is it possible to open up that tail light and get it out physically? It is really bothering me lately.

well that looks like it impossible to clean. if you want to burn a few hours take it off, and dismantle it. maybe you can bake it like a headlight and open it.
this is all way too much headache for me. maybe warranty will cover if you have, if not upgrade to the face lifted ones. oem $$$ or aftermarket $.

do you park in a spot where theres lots of dust blowing from your right taillight area? I have a huge bug that's inside my right tailight... still alive. Seems like those vents let it in. My only other guess aside from taking it apart is to take it off the car, then pour water into the light from where the light panel connects, and wash it out that way.
