Anybody else have bugs in their taillights? Little dead guys down at the bottom, look like mosquitoes or something. How the hell am I going to get them out of there?

 

1) take out the side panels in the boot
2) remove the nuts that hold the lights in (10mm IIRC)
3) 3 clips you'll need to squeeze, use a mirror so you can see what's going on for your first time. the clips are big metal ones
4) remove reverse bulb
5) jiggle til the bug carcasses fall out

 

I got them as well... poor fellas, at least they died in a mini.

 

if you have large suction cups it will make it a lot easier to pull the
tailight out after you remove all the nuts.

 

First, just take the bulb sockets out, and hold a vacuum to the hole, that may be all you need to do.
