1996 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN

Hi all, I have a 1996 chevy suburban.180,000 miles. Automatic.4WD. 350 vortec. Very clean. Runs great. But I have a problem that is going to seem small. But here in PA it IS an inspection item.I have a high beam light out. And for the life of me, cant find out how to get to the bulbs. I replaced the low beams the other day. And believe me, they were a real pain to get to. Having had to remove the battery on the passenger side, and the plastic storage box on the other side to get to the low beam bulbs. It definetely isnt like the crown vic I owned with trap door to get to the bulbs. Whats gives? How do you access them? I took the grill off thinking thats how it was done, but there was NO opening for them. HELP!

Just in case anyone wants to know...they are accessed by removing the 2 long bolts that look more ike adjustments than bolts and taking the whole headlight assembly out. It is an easy job.,...takes less than 2 minutes a side...honestly. The bolts stick up above the radiator support and are 5MM hex head in size. They really do look like headlight adjusters,,but are not.
