Is there any easy way to put them in without having to take whole tailight out and rip out glue?
Anyone know how to put in new reverse lights? - 6G Celicas Forums
You mean blue bulbs to fit the rear taillights? You will have to take the lights off to change the bulbs (access is blocked by the metal panel at the back) but it's pretty easy - just 3 bolts on each unit.
There wasn't any glue or sealer on mine - they just came out.
You might need to remove the trim that fits in the boot at the back of the car to get to the bolts though.

no, no, no, you don't unglue a light assy to change the bulb!! AH! ok, take off the rear trunk panel, unbolt the tail lights, and pull them out... and the bulbs twist out.
however, just so you know, any color backup light other than white is illegal and may get you a ticket... especially blue, only law enforcement have blue lights on their car. so just check before you go in reverse... also, with a non-white color, you won't be able to see jack behind you at night. just FYI.

Charlie and Tony have it pretty much covered, on the rear panel in your trunk on
each side there are 3 plastic plugs with light symbols on them.Twist pull these out and you'll find a recess in which you have to unscrew a nut on a long bolt shaft.Once these are out the light cluster will pull out easily....then its just a matter of twist
pulling the bulb assembly off.

yup, blue reverse lights & license plate lights are illegal. Just keep this in mind.
