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 Censored, how on earth did they get in there!

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

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