Default Bugs in headlights

Ok, I have no clue how this happened but I noticed the other day that there are a couple of little tiny bugs dead inside my headlight casing. How in the world can I get them out and clean up the inside of the casings?

Drop the bumper, take out the headlamp, put it in the oven at 350 for 1 minute, then flip it over for 1 more minute, pull the tabs and remove the front cover carefully. You can reassemble using the same methods

I'd go with: find someone with a big air compressor, and blast air into the headlight until they all come flying out

Good idea. The intervals are not too fragile . The lows are a different compartment then the highs. You migh have difficulty with bugs in the low beams
