Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the bulbs in the taillight as well as replace the entire taillight assembly on this 2000 Toyota Celica. It's the same part and process on the Celicas from 2002 to 2002. The only tools you'll need are a 10mm socket and ratchet and a 10mm wrench.
Behind both taillights there are these little plastic panels. You just want to push the tab right there and pull them off. You can see your taillight's right here. Securing the taillight there are four 10mm nuts. There's two right there and then there's one right down there and another one directly up above it that you're going to need to use the wrench for. We'll just fast forward as Don removes those four nuts. Once the nuts are removed, you can pull the taillight right out and just push the tab on the harness and pull it apart.
Now, to service the bolts on your taillight you just want to twist the socket out, pull the bulb out, push a new one into place and twist the socket back in. Again, you do the same thing with the other bulbs.
To install the new taillight just reconnect your harness, line up the taillight and push it into place. Now, we'll just fast forward as Don replaces those four 10mm nuts and replaces that plastic panel and then you're all set.
