Default Anyone know how to remove tail light housing?

Hello,

Took advantage of nice weather this afternoon and washed and waxed the car. I noticed there is a bug dead body stocked in the passenger side tail light housing. Anyone know how to remove the housing so I can get rid of the bug?

Thanks.

I was cleaning out my engine bay a while back and found a long since dead and dried up grasshopper stuck up around the passenger headlamp. I removed with a pair of tweezers, but his head popped off and fell back up in there somewhere that I can't find.

I'm sure it dropped down to the bottom somewhere. Crazy little bugs.

Do you have a similar diagram for the front fog lights for a 2013 S-Line?

I used to remove the front fog covers from my 2011, but I'm afraid to break some tabs as the 2013 covers are not the same.

Thanks!
