Blazer composites. Easiest way would just to take of the grill(8 screws?) then you should be able to reach around the back of the headlights and twist out the bulbs.

This is definately not one of the generals better ideas. If The bulbs are not accessable unless you remove the entire headlight. That means you have to remove the battery and airbox.. Of course I figured that out after I installed the housings... I suspose you could remove the housing from the bracket but I have not looked close enough to see if it's possible.

That white grille looks terrible...replace it with a chrome one and send the white one to me and I'll get rid of it for you..

Some Hondas ive worked on are even worse! Gotta take off the headlights on some to get at the bulbs, but, you gotta take the bumper off to get to the bolts at the bottom of the headlights behind the bumper. GAY!

Cavaliers are crappy this way too!

On blazers you can't get to the bulbs with out removing the entire headlight housings? wow...

My jimmy I can just pull of grille(real easy) then have easy access to the bulbs behind the housing.

those are easy to change the bulb in, there are 2 rods sticking up out of each headlight coming through openings in the top of the grill, they might have rubber caps on them, pull the caps off, then get a real small socket(cant remember what size) and unscrew them, then the headlight comes out

i can get some pics to describe what im sayin tomarrow when its light out



highbeam- 9005
lowbeam- 9006



it also says all this in the owners manual.

Yeah, you're right about your away. I just forgot to mention it because one of mine is broke and i've never done it that way. i forgot about those though

i finally got a pic, i think its a 4 or 5 mm socket, but if you unscrew the rods, the headlight just comes right out.
