    Just get one for the other side.

    Or use an air hose to blow it out. Something like a chochet hook might get it out through the little holes.

    Pity it's not in the headlight.

    It'd be like the bat signal. But with a spider.

    Seriously though can you get it out through one of the bulb holes?

    That's the reverse bulb part? Is the reverse light LED or bulb on a Mondeo?

    OP, you'll have to remove the cluster from the car, remove the bulbs and use an air duster or something along those lines to dislodge the spider. It might take a bit of time so be patient.
