Wow, that 2nd pic looks quite bloody. :P

But the third brake light removes quite easily, allowing you access to that area and brush out the dead dude. I forget how.

Someone might jump in with more exact instructions, otherwise I'll write up something tomorrow.

Push the back of it forward, and lift it up - it's just a single clip that holds it in.

I was going to suggest you tint the rear window really dark so you can't see the dead bug but I guess removing the bug was a good alternative.

You think you have problems, I have a small spider inside my headlight that has died! It is right at the far forward corner, between the external cover the internal casing. Aint no way he's coming out unless I bake the covers off lol.

Gotta pull the taillight apart (bake the clear casing off and then glue it back on :P. A lot of effort I have just accepted my spidey as being a souvenir lol.
