Hi:
Open the hood and look behind the headlight assembly. You will see where the wiring goes in. Just turn the black rubber plastic electrical boot counter clockwise and it will loosten. remove the bulb and reverse the process.

On the Bravada you cannot access the bulbs without pulling the headlight assembly. There were three different mounting systems used for the units. The 02s usually have the plastic tabe style retainers.
Open the hood. Look at the support that holds the lights/grill radiator. Behind the support you will see two plastic tabs sticking up. Pull straight up on those tabs while holding the light. It will come out and you will have access to the back so you can replace the bulbs. Once you replace the bulbs you slip the tabs back into place and then slip the lock tabs back in. Watch out so you don't forget to put the lower tabs in properly, it will mess up the aim and the lights will not be secure either.
