To change a headlight bulb in the 2002 Trailblazer: I writing this with the orientation of standing in front of and facing the Trailblazer. Open the hood. Remove the plastic cover that goes from the left to right over the headlight bracket, radiator, etc. It has 4 plastic pop retainers and 2 sheet metal screws. Remove the grill center bar that passes in front of both headlights. The grill and center bar come off as one piece. Start at one end and carefully pry it out, a little at a time. There are 2 clips at the headlight and 2 clips near the center top of the grill and 2 at the bottom. Two more in the other headlight. Each headlight has 2 black metal clips that hold the assembly onto the bracket. One is above and behind headlight assembly, towards the right end if you're working on the left headlight (and visa-versa), and the other is under the fender (it pulls up OK, but may take some patience to push it back down when you're done). Pull the entire headlight assembly forward. I only moved mine an inch or two. On the back of the assembly are round rubber covers. Pull off the one covering the back end of the bulb that needs changing. reach in and turn to bulb clockwise 1/4 turn and it will slip out. Unhook the connector from the bulb. It has a little catch on it, otherwise it just pulls out. Connect the new bulb. Reassemble everything in reverse order. As I said, the under fender clip that holds the headlight assembly on to the bracket may take some patience. It seemed to slip down OK once I had it in exactly the right position. Either that I needed to reach the required amount of cussing. Good Luck...
The license plate lights are in the ledge above the license plate. 2 screws keep the lens cover in place. Remove the screws, and the cover comes off. Just pull the lamp out (wedge base) and replace.
if both lamps dont work a common problem was the headlamp module. It looks like a black relay in the underhood fuse block (next to the master cylinder), there is two black small relays right next to each other (they used to say 15016745 on top in white letters.) One is for the low beams and one is for the fan clutch. Swap them and check the lamps - if the come on, go get a new one at the dealer and replace the bad one. If you leave the bad one in the fan clutch your gas mileage will be bad and your ses light will come on.
All you have to do is find the "round rubber
cover" on the back of the headlamp, pry it out with a flathead
screwdriver and the lamp is right there.
To remove the headlamp assembly on a Trailblazer, remove the plastic
panel that covers the hood latch assembly. Take the cover for the air filter in order to
get to the low beam cover. Take the 3 screws out of the air filter
cover and remove. You will then be able to get to the back of the low
beam lamp. The high beam is reachable without this hassle.
