To replace a tail light bulb in a 1986 to 1989 Chevy Celebrity:

1. Inside the trunk next to the quarter panel there are 3 nuts that hold the rear header on. The middle bolt holds the tail light assembly on, take it off.

2. Pull the tail light assembly out enough for the stud to clear the body then pull to the side to pull the tabs out of the backup light assembly.

3. Give a slight twist to the proper socket to take it out of the tail light assembly and you can then replace the bulb.

Replace the header panel with one from a 1987 to 1990 header panel. You can then make adaptors to use the later model bulbs in place of the older sealed beam bulbs. We actually did that on a 1986 station wagon. It was easily enough done.
