No way!

I have the exact same issue. I have no idea how to get it out but I will be watching this one.

Take headlight out and shake it till it comes out. Try some compressed air if it's stuck.

How does the whole headlamp come out? Any links to a process?
thanks

It's Easy.

What won't be easy is getting the fly out. How it got in there in the first place would concern me more.

Yeah i have no idea how that little fcker got in there lol. Funny how rodo has the same problem though

This has been a issue since the 5 came out. I had dirt and debris in my 5 lamps. IIRC, some were using the moisture release to access.

Probably crawled in through the vent and couldn't find it's way out. I have seen dead spiders in taillights as well.

I think this is a pretty common issue, not sure why. At the pfaff dealership almost every one of their A7s also had a spider/spider web in there for some god damn reason.

I had a little fly in my tail light. I just removed it and used compressed air to blast it until it shot out.

Now I have condensation build up in my tail light so I have to remove it again. -_-

That's what I'm afraid of.. Once I take it out and play with it, I feel like with my luck it'll have condensation issues

Not only that but if you're not mindful with your compressor you could introduce moisture from it into your light housing, even worse if you use one of those compressed air cans. Then the next thread will be "How Do I Remove Moisture From My Headlight?"

I thought I recalled the condensation issue was when people weren't hooking up the drain line after install. Might be wrong.
