Replying to: burdawg (Nov 15, 2005 7:16 am) Hi, I have a 2005 Trailblazer. I bought new upgraded bulbs for the headlights but can't figure out how to change them. It is not addressed in the owners manual. I tried what some one else posted for their 2002 but the 05 seems different. The grill came off very easily but instead of 2 metal snaps holding the light assembly there are many plastic ones. I've tried gently prying them out but they break everytime so I'm guessing there must be another way. I can't believe it's easier to change the grill than the bulbs! Any ideas?

Replying to: aquabach (Jan 10, 2006 7:20 am) The plastic ones are to hold the lens on the assembly, leave those alone. Look further back on the assembly on the left up under the fender and on the right pretty much in plain view, unless there's been some change for 05, but I doubt it. There not really snaps but are sliding clips that move up and down, with some force required.

I own a 2002 TB and had to replace the low beams a couple of years ago. I did not have to remove the grill. I took off the radiator cover and had plenty of room to get my hand in to 1/4 turn the bulb fixture out. When I first looked at the front end, I also thought I would have to remove the front grill. I found out I didn't have to.
#37 of 103 How to change lamps on 2002 Trailblazer by stump3 Feb 01, 2006 (10:26 pm)
I own a 2002 Trailblazer. To gain great access to the lamps on the passenger side remove the large black air cleaner cover which is held on by three screws. Once removed you can also remove the air cleaner. Remove the round rubber covers by lightly twisting the edge of the rubber with a flat srewdriver.You will see the lamps.The clip attached to wires that is inserted into the lamp can be loosened and pulled out before twisting the lamp counter clockwise to remove. I only replaced the passenger side lamp. It looks like you can gain the same access on the driver side by removing the battery case and battery.

#38 of 103 Headlamp Replacement by jmaher Feb 08, 2006 (5:21 pm)
I have a 2003 Trailblazer that I have been very happy with, only minor problems when we first got it but nothing since then. My passenger headlamp just went out so I ran to the autoparts store to get a replacement. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! Why would any engineer design a headlamp assembly that is so hard to remove? I also have a 2005 Malibu that has two bolts on top that simply unscrew and you're in. This is crazy. But, everyone here thanks for the tips because I couldn't figure it out myself (the manual says "see your Chevrolet dealer"). Yeah right, like I'm going to take it to the dealer to change a bulb.

My low beam headlights just quit working. The high beams work. I have changed the bulbs and checked the fuses as well as the relay switch. What do I do now? Thanks in advance for any help. Replies to this message: rcaston19 (Nov 17, 2008 1:20 pm)

Thanks for the help and advice. I also read "see dealer" regarding front headlights and became discouraged. Once again my manual will provide page after page on programming my radio, but will not ultimately impart any real knowledge on many needed topics. Once I read these tips I was done in 15 minutes (it would have been 10, if I had remembered to put the rubber dust cover back on the first time). Thanks to all for guidance.

Replying to: imj (Nov 17, 2005 12:12 pm) I had a problem w/my low beam (left) - there was a short and a small fire. I had the dealer replace the entire wiring, under warranty. Who knows what it would have costs if done out of warranty.

Replying to: burdawg (Nov 15, 2005 7:16 am) DEAR BURDAWG: I'm new to the computer and I have spent the better part of 2 hours looking for specific info on how to repalce the passenger-side headlight on my Chevy Trailblazer ('01 or '02). I cannot find you answer from last year which you refer to. I apologize but would be very grateful if you would give my tips on how to replace the bulb. It seems impossible when I look under the hood. eaa Replies to this message: steve_ (Jun 24, 2006 11:00 am)
