You can remove the bulb assembly panel and then hold a high-power shop vac or similar to the hole. If that doesn't work- you could try a wire hanger with some duct tape wrapped around the end. I had to use this method when a spider got fried in my headlight assembly on my old car. Just use caution not to scratch the inside of the lens.

i have never removed the bulb holder, but from looking at pics in the burned tail light connector thread, it appears you can remove the bulb holder and definitely figure out a way to get at that dude. question is - how did a bug that big get in there?

I would not be able to rest until that thing is out, even if no one else knew or could see.
Funny *** thread. Couldn't stop laughing at all the replies.
