Today, I just noticed there is a dead wasp on the inside of my headlight. No idea how it got there. Should I be worried?

That's awesome lol! I don't think you should be worried. Check to see where it could've come in from (any openings, or leaks anywhere). The corpse will probably dry up and slowly disapear lol, especially if you're running HIDs.

That's a good link mitgee-mui. I think the compressed air can technique should work well, if you want to blast the wasp to pieces.

Only be worried if it layed 10,000 eggs somewhere in your car! :)

ekkkk.... I sure hope not.

I was more concerned about the wasp disintegrating, and damaging my bulbs. I know you're not suppose to touch the actual bulb part, as the oil on your hands will damage the bulb, and was concerned that dead wasp parts might do the same thing....

Pull the highbeam bulb out, stick a shopvac hose to the hole, and hope it gets sucked through? Just a thought..
