View Full Version : Bug in tail light ?!!?
UnFocused 12-22-2004, 07:18 PM Looks like I have a visitor from Japan!!
I think somehow this bug got in my tailamp before it was installed on the car! I dont think it could have got in thier any other way?!?!

BoomBox757 12-22-2004, 07:23 PM looks like you are going to have to take your tail lights apart
TheScionicMan 12-22-2004, 07:23 PM Call the Customs Department...
UnFocused 12-22-2004, 07:24 PM Yeah, I figured, but Im getting the TYC's asap, so when I take the bug ones out, I blow it out with a compressor, and hopefully that will get rid of my visitor....
TheScionicMan 12-22-2004, 07:29 PM Just be sure to stomp it. Don't want to throw off the balance of the ecosystem. ;) It may have no natural predators here...
Joehnn 12-22-2004, 07:34 PM I'd make your dealer take it out. :twisted:

it probably does not...but unless it's a sexual it shouldnt be a problem unless he brought a friend in the other tailight
if its still alive just use break clean on that little bugger
agi_jw 12-22-2004, 08:24 PM HAHAHAHA, that is TOO FUNNY!!!! :-)
Toyota should charge that guy for gettin a free ride to america and the INS should call that bug's family because he is gonna get sent back! :lol: Thats nasty though, finding a bug in your tailights. :D
Max2k 12-22-2004, 10:00 PM Sweet! JDM insects!
UnFocused 12-22-2004, 10:24 PM I'd make your dealer take it out. :twisted:
well beings that the nearest SCION dealership is 100 miles away, And I would have to go over a NASTY mountain pass to get thier ( nasty gravel on the roads= rock chip city!)- Im not headed thier anytime soon!
Has anyone created an "how-to" on removing the tailamps? I know thier is the two bolts, and you remove the harness first- but I learn best form pictures!

I used this guy's page to help me install my TYC's.. Took me awhile to do it though since the upper bolt is in a very tight/crowded place. Good luck though.
stupidriver 12-22-2004, 11:02 PM Wow, that really sucks. I would go back to the dealer and complain, they will probrobly take it out for free.
On the flip side of me, I would leave it in there and brag about it. :lol:
bBlover 12-22-2004, 11:10 PM Is the bug still alive?

theyll probably do it too LOL
i know we had to order antoher taillight for a 745Li customer
those taillights arent cheap either
600 a piece :shock:
BoomBox757 12-23-2004, 06:15 PM why?
MattyRattyPoo 12-23-2004, 06:36 PM Call border pratrol!!! We got an illegal alien from Japan!!
firesquare 12-23-2004, 08:03 PM why?
look at a 745Li and youll see its all LED and Hella manufactures them. and their is software in them i beleve too. dont ask all BMW's are over designed
BoomBox757 12-23-2004, 08:08 PM no i mean why did you have to replace it?
Beantowntc 12-23-2004, 08:08 PM somebody was probably eating lunch when they assembled your tailight haha
firesquare 12-23-2004, 08:13 PM its what the customer wanted. and we are not gonna take a taillight apart just for a bug. its all about money and time
firesquare 12-23-2004, 08:14 PM well actually its what we told the customer. it was a big azz moth too. but we told her it would be bettter if we replaced the whole entire bulb. she paid for the part and labor
BoomBox757 12-23-2004, 08:17 PM ohh so it was also a bug
squirrel 12-23-2004, 08:18 PM I'd frame it w/ the vehicle spec/pricing sheet!
the_saint 12-23-2004, 10:21 PM Call the Customs Department...
And the Department of the Interior too. Just don't let Greenpeace or PETA know, they might have a cow, man.
