    Not sure if this is more funny than it is annoying. A stinkbug managed to work its way inside my tail light. My plan is to follow the DIY instructions to remove the tail light. I will then purge/dump the bug. Any ideas on short cuts? Vacuuming via the bulb access port did not work.

    Hopefully, the thing didn't lay eggs in there. That would really stink.

    Use Google search, it's much better. Use priuschat.com as one of the search parameters.
