Bee stuck in E70 headlamp

[djKibblez]

So this is going to sound awfully silly, but I have a friggin bee stuck in my headlamp and I can't seem to get it out. One of the back covers must have been loose or off completely and the bee must have just flown in. Well now it's dead and it's in front of the projector. I've tried blowing compressed air in the lamp to move the bee around. I've tried sticking a piece of small diameter hose attached to my shop vac to suck the thing about, but there's practically no room to pass the hose through and nearly not enough suction to draw it out.

Any ideas? I'm not taking the lense cover off.

Thanks

Don't mind the dirty lense just got back from Moab.

You're right, that does sound silly. Also - it looks like a yellow jacket, not a bee. LOL

That's an interesting one, though. Aside from removing the assembly and tilting it such that the bee/wasp falls out, I'm not sure what I would try, given compressed air failed you.

Possibly remove the headlight and shake it until the bee falls behind the projector. Though that can be a bit labor intensive.
