My Dark Passenger

Anyone else found any unwanted passengers in their cars? I had a fly stuck in my previous c 63's tail light and now I have a ghekko in my other one. How the hell they get in there I don't know. Both times it was the rear right tail light. I rinsed the fly out with water hoping the LED's for the indicator still worked afterwards and luckily it did but this one seems stuck in a channel so I don,t know if I can rinse him out too? Maybe one of the rules are he cant get wet? lol



Say hello to my little friend.

Yep, this little guy has been in my driver's side headlight for awhile now.
The plug on the rear of the assembly was not attached so stuff found it's way in.
Tried sucking him out with a straw connected to a vacuum - no luck.
I'll eventually replace the lenses and when I do the bug will receive a proper burial.

That is annoying and a bit bewildering. I would have to get rid of it somehow.

Haha ...from the title I was expecting a really awesome guest and not a bug or a very tiny lizard...lol

Wow! That's pretty bad!

I've had some dead bees/flies? Maybe like 2 on each side in the clear section of my pre-facelift taillights in the corner. They are not visible unless you look hard but it is rather annoying. I've seen some people on here have similar issues.

But THAT, wow, that thing is huge in comparison and you can see it lmao.

Here's a used OEM unit in good shape on eBay.
Guy is asking $70 or Best Offer plus $7 shipping.
