Default the dang fly wont come out...

ok guys... i posted a thread about a fly stuck in my passenger side DRL about a week ago... i was told try to vacuum the thing out... i was told to use a spider (i didn't do this though).. and i was told to get a wad of tape and pull the fly out...

i attempted to do the vacuum... but nothing really happened... the fly just kinda moved side to side with the airflow inside the DRL... and the wad of tape didnt even make it past the hole into the DRL... so everything was a complete failure... the fly is dead in there and it looks raunchy having a dead fly in my DRL... any other ideas?

umm, seriously, you tried using some hard wire with tape at the tips and didn't work? you shuold have been able to bend the wire in shape to get in.

oOoOOoo.. wire... ahhahahahah i rolled up some paper and tried to shove it in there...

i will try it with wire this time... that idea just might work... ! good work by you rominl !

the fly is stuck at the very front of the DRL... its leaning against the glass... so the wire should work... as soon as i get home... i will try...

Smoke him out. Light up a cig or maybe something a little stronger and blow in the light.
Either the fly will pass out or fly out. If he passes out, you can shake the sucker out or try the vacuum idea again.

EDIT: I just reread your post and just discovered its dead. My idea won't work. Build a time machine and go to the future. The fly will decay to nothing

This idea will work trust me. I had the same problem with my headlighs and retro. You get a can of butane put the tip in the wedge bulb hole and start to spray wait like 1 minute before you stop spraying. Then get the wedge bulb break the glass and plug it all back up. Then turn your lights on. BOOM no more fly to worry about

Clearly the spider is the only way to go.

Then if the spider won't come out, send in a bird.
Then a cat.
Then a dog.
Then a cow.
Then a horse.

You know what, this is a stupid idea. The old woman died after she swallowed the horse, can't imagine what will happen to your car.

How about just taking the light off the car and give it a little shake you should be all set no more FLY.
