I am interested in purchasing a reference manual to do light repair/maintenance on my 1999 Celica Convertible, including switching out the stereo system. Which is a better manual, the Haynes, which covers 1986-1999 Celicas, or the Chilton's, which covers 1994-1998 Celica's? The Chilton's costs about $12 more than the Haynes, but would appear more applicable to the 6th Gen Celica's. Which one covers the Convertible version more in depth? Thanks for your help.

Neither, use the Toyota tech manual. If you need the chapter for wiring and lighting, lemme know.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn."
"What?"
"Just do it."
".......He said yes."
"Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up."
".......Sweet. Thanks."
"No problem."

I have the haynes manual, look ok not too detailed. I've seen chiltons they are somewhat thicker.
