I have a 2001 Celica GT and need to replace the headlight bulb. I have tried unsuccesfully to get at the bulb. Can someone tell me if there is an easy way to get to the bulb without having to remove the whole headlight assembly.

Your going to have to remove the whole thing there is no way of getting around it.

Yeah your going to have to take off the whole thing.

"Sealed Beam" is the operative word.

Without looking at it, your manual will state if it's sealed beam.

And of course, our friends that have replied above probably know, so I would trust their judgement.

Therefore, remove the whole assembly. It's fairly easy....and us Canadians would gauge it as a 1-beer job (not even an entire cigar) ROFL !!!!
