Low beam's don't work , how about high beams . Low beam relay is turned on by the BCM - body control module , headlamp switch is a input to the BCM . Your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop , rather then guessing an replacing parts you don't need . Hooking up a scan tool an checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes should have been the first step before replacing parts .
The headlamp driver module (HDM) is an electronic module that provides electrical power to the vehicle low beam headlamps. The HDM is controlled by a pulse width modulated (PWM) ground signal from the body control module (BCM). The BCM determines the desired lamp intensity using the ambient light sensor, multifunction switch , wiper motor, and the park brake switch as inputs. In general, the HDM will operate in one of three modes:
• Reduced Intensity Mode: This mode is used by features that do not require or allow maximum low beam headlamp intensity such as daytime running lights (DRL) (nominal: 81% duty cycle).
• Full Intensity Mode: This mode is used by features that require full low beam headlamp intensity such as low beam headlamp operation in manual, wiper activated headlamp (WAH), or auto modes (nominal: 100% duty cycle).
• Off Mode: This is the default mode of the system that will occur when none of the features described above are active. The BCM will deactivate its PWM output (0% duty cycle) during this mode.
The Headlamps On at Exit and Perimeter Lighting modes can be adjusted using the steering wheel controls to select the wanted function as displayed in the driver information center. The Headlamps On at Exit selection will allow the driver to customize the period of time that the headlamps remain illuminated upon exiting the vehicle. This period can be adjusted from 0 seconds to 180 seconds. The Perimeter Lighting feature allows the driver to select if they want the headlamps and backup lamps to illuminate when the door UNLOCK button on the key fob is activated. This feature can be turned ON or OFF by using the driver information center steering wheel control buttons.

the center section of your grill will pop off. you can use a small pry bar to help but be careful plastic will brake easy. the headlamp is held in with two blastic bars, that slide up to release. they are white and the ends are located at the top rear of the lamp. the wire is very short to the turn bulb so it must be disconnected to access the high and low beam.

on a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, you have to remove the grill to access the back of the head lights. It takes a good pull (don't be afraid to use a little force). Pop the hood and there 4 metal pieces that slide up and several plastic pieces that pop up. You will see the lips on the metal slides (about an inch in width) and you pull those up to loosen the grill. There are 2 of these slides (one on each far side, almost hidden) that are hard to get your hand into that you might need a screwdriver or something for leverage to slide them up. Then pop up the plastic pieces holding the headlamps in place and with a little force pull the grill off.
Then you can access the back side of the headlamps to replace the bulbs.
The headlamps are in manual mode. you must change in the computer the option of the headlights to automatic and then check the manual control of the lights that should be in the complete left position with the orange light on.
