How Well Are These Taillights Sealed??
I know it's an 8 year old car, but I was cleaning the car and noticed bugs in my left taillight aren't these supposed to be sealed tight? How did they get in there and most importantly how do I fix this? Do I have to get a brand new taillight? Thanks!!

<p>lights are not sealed tight, there are a few breather holes to let out moisture.&nbsp;A bug got in, you're going to be okay, unless you want to spend more than hundred dollars because a bug.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

take the lights out, remove the bulbs and spray canned compressed air in there gently to get them out. Reinstall bug free!
