i haven't messed with it myself, but from the looks of it, a pocket flat head screw driver might be able to pop the lens off. but don't blame if anything breaks. :D

Let me guess, the insects are actually "bugs" :D To hear what we are saying in our cars, so they know what we complain about? No, that can't be right, otherwise they would have Mazda Speed FI, available, and keep our cars under warranty.

I agree. Maybe it was born in there from an egg that was deposited in the light when it was being assembled.

Looks like a moth to me.

DON"T USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they will damage your headliner permanently

read the DIY on this one and it is easy to just yank the thing out pulling it toward the windshield, take you 5 minutes to get that bug out, meanwhile swap the bulbs out for superwhite :D
