Well, if the setup is close from your's to mine, 99 Silverado,
you can pull 2 pins that hold light housing in, taking it loose and then the bulb socket shoud be a twist out type. Be careful about getting the new bulb dirty or a lot of skin oil on it as this causes them to burn out fairly quick for some reason. Hope this helps you out. :roll:

Suggested Repair

If the headlight assembly is similar to a 1999 Silverado, release the two pins holding the housing, then twist the bulb socket out. Avoid touching the new bulb with bare skin, since skin oil can cause early failure.
