I assume you mean the tail (brake) lights. Mine is a 1993 Celica, but I think 1991 is the same.

Open the hatchback. On top of the brake light assembly you will see a small square tab. Pop that tab out with a flathead screwdriver. Under the tab you will see a screw. Remove the screw.

Now for the delicate part. At the front of the brake light assembly (on the side of the car) you will notice that the first panel is not a light, but is instead an air vent. It is clipped in. The front (round) edge has two tongues to hold the piece in. The rear (flat) edge has the clip. VERY CAREFULLY lever the rear (flat edge) out. If you aren't careful you will break one of the vents like I did the first time. Once the clip has popped out you can slide the tongues out and the whole vent comes out. Behind the vent you will find two screws. Remove them. The tail light assembly can now be removed. The bulbs can be removed from the rear with a quarter turn. There you go. Paul.

The description is not helpful for a 91 Celica GT. I don't know what is meant by "vents" or "tongues" in the above. At the front of the brake light assembly on the side of the car are more lights - no vents. The screw on the top mentioned in the beginning of the entry is right, but I don't want to risk breaking light covers if this is not the right way to get to the bulbs..

How do you change the tail light bulbs on a 1997 Toyota Celica GT?

There are plastic interior panels in the rear of the trunk/cargo area. Pop them off and that will reveal the access to the light sockets from behind. From there, pull out the socket assembly (might have to rotate it 90 degrees or so for it to come out), replace the bulb, put the sockets back in and put the panels back on.
