The little critter made it in there by himself, I say let him find his own way out.

Hope he has some shades for when those high beams come on at night.

I believe the performance chip online sellers also offer a spider removal chip. Just plug it into the OBDII port, enter "he's inside my headlamp assembly", and the spider magically vanishes. A great deal for just $49.99....

dead insects on the radiator and bumper cover, attracts spiders. The black jumping spiders are harmless. The BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER can be deadly if bitten. And very common amputation of body parts from the bite

Unless that is the rare zombie spider, I doubt he has to worry about that one. To quote the man "he'd dead Jim".

If you're lucky, you might be able to vacuum it out thru the bulb replacement access hole.
