Bugs inside headlight

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I have bugs inside my headlight and it's driving me nuts. How do I go about getting them out? Will I need to remove the headlight or can you get in from the back? I'm my old car the whole bumper had to come off to get at the headlights so wanted to know what I was up against before I started

Thanks

Here's the little , how on earth did they get in there!

Takes about 2 mins to remove the whole headlight mate, just follow the handbook instructions.

5 min job to remove the headlight - then remove the bulb & turn upside down hopefully the bugs will fall out

Or a thin stick with Sellotape - or a bicycle pump with adaptor to blow out the bug - or a spider to eat the bug or a high pressure pump 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
