How do you change the rear bulbs on 1996 Celica hatchback?

Answer 1

I have a 96 celica 25 edition and just changed the tail light bulbs after 200k miles

First you need a deep socket ranch and open the trunk and remove the plastic plugs on the vinyl wall.

That will expose the long shaft , got to get to the nut and remove it.

There are 3 2 on the righ side 1 on the left..

Once you take the whole housing out you will be exposed to the light clips, teke(twist) the appropriate clip and remove bulb, and replace.

But the whole fixture has to come out..

Its relative easy , just make sure you tighten down the nuts back so the fixture can be water tight.
