Bugs in the tail lights
 
Like many others, I had bugs in my tails lights. The key word being had. I removed the trunk liner and poped out the brake light bulb. Then I took a shop vac and stuck it over the bulb hole, which happened to fit over the hole like it was made for it, and turned the vacum on and in 1 second all two bugs were sucked out. I did it on the other side with the same results after a few taps to break the bug loose. So there you have it, an easy way to get those darn bugs out

When I took out the tail light a while back I noticed that it is not sealed. There is a huge 1/2 hole behind the side markers LEDs. They must have got it that why.

Bump. I got a tiny spider in my right tail light, and a grasshopper-like bug in my left.

LOL! they just love them RX-8 tail lights.

That's nothing..... I discovered a dead spider inside the tail light, and you know what spider does.... Spider webs!! I guess the spider wanted to make a good home there but that dumb bug couldn't find a way out and died there. It took me a few hours to clean up its mess.

Went to the dealer to drop off my 8 for some recalls an the Service MG said Mazda dont cover them under warrenty, how true is this? I thought they did if you get that fog an film in them.

Mazda ordered me a new headlight because of that damn film. 550ish bucks for one light.
