i cant access my headlamps if my life depended on it?

alight everyone, i've been trying to figure this out for a while now, and i've decided ill just get it done and over with tonight. everyone has told me its two bolts on the top and they come straight out, because there is a metal plate and battery behind the front right headlamp. but the two bolts i see on top lie horizontal, not vertical, and there is two of them. are these what i should be taking out, it doesnt look like it will help but if you guys says so? it looks like id have to take the whole grille off but i know this cant be the case because changing headlight bulbs is common and gmc wouldnt make it difficult.

For the headlights you dont have to take the whole front end off all you have to do is open the hood and look and you will see right above the headlights just like the greyish silver things in the picture but yours will most likley be black. If you unscrew them and take them out you should be able to just slide the whole headlight assembly out and just put your bulbs in then stick them back in there and put those screws back in and you will be good to go.

thats what i thought, but i looked and i only see 2 running horizontally. unless, there hidden under this big piece of metal on top of the headlights?

These pix are of a 95, but I assume it is the same. There are two male hex heads sticking straight up. One in the corner next to the fender and the other about in the middle of the fixture. They are 5mm if you happen to have a small socket. In the second picture the socket is on the corner stud.

These bolts have a flange half way on the shank that hold the fixture below. Unscrew and pull them straight up and the headlamp assembly will come out the front. Good luck.....

No disrespect intended, but the average bear is looking for conventional screws or bolts. These fasteners are anything but conventional. They look like a allen wrench.

I thought the added description of the hex head would help.

Many people think they are headlamp adjusters.
