Yesterday I found there is a dead bee or fly inside my 03 Civic back up
light. Easily seen through the clear lens.
How the hell did it get in there?
I thought that these lights are quite tightly closed with the buld in
place. Every thing is still functioning and nothing is loose.
Did not have a chance to try to remove it yet.

It must've travelled thru the wires.

Yep, definitately an electrical bug!

Many lamp clusters have vent tubes at the back designed to allow moisture
to dissipate. Probably got in through that.

definitely not tightly sealed. I always see some water droplets in the
lights after washing my car. =(
