Default bugs in my tail light !

i was washing my car few days ago, and i found two tiny spyder like bugs inside my left tail light, i have no idea how they got in there. i did not do any modification to the rear. I call up honda and asked if they can fix this under warrenty, and they
doubted the warrenty would cover it.

Anyone have similar problem w/ their tail lights?

They're just tiny little spiders. They won't eat much.
You may simply have a less than perfect seal where the bulbs fit in. If you're really in need of "fixing" this, unscrew the bulb holder, stick a compressed air nozzle in there and blow the little "buggers" out of there.

ps. I just discovered a spider web under my dash where my clutch pedal is attached. I think I can share that space with it. Besides, I think after parking the car outside all last night @-20*C, it's turned into a spidercicle anyway.

Within two weeks after I got my car I had a little bug get into the dash display. It is near the gas guage. I have tried compressed air from every stinking angle and it has never even moved.....

It honestly bugs me, no pun intended.

THAT, would irritate the bejesus out of me, too. At least in the tail light noone can really see them till they start buiding cobwebs.

And I got to watch him over a week or two period change from green to brown.
After it turned brown I was hoping it would be smaller from dehydration I might be able to blow it in one direction or another, but noooooooo....

I should take a good pic of it and let the "experts" here tell me how to get rid of it, I suspect it would be highly labor intensive!

I know sombody that had little snails in his turbo .

It was a turbo MR2 that had the motor blown and was sitting on the street for a year...finally when he took it to get fixed.....they took apart the turbo and found snails in it. The snails where also on the inside part of the turbo....where it would be hard for bugs to crawl into...and he had no manifold leaks or anything.....crazy shiznit.

I too had a tiny spider in my S2K. I decided to let it go and not kill it. It just kept growing and growing and somehow got inside my house!
