Fuses 4 and 8, but there is also a relay involved.

There is a pin on the top of the headlamp assemble. Flip it up and pull it out. In the diagram below the pin is number 11. You owners manual will also give you instruction. If you do not have one you can visit the Chevrolet website and view an online version. I can get you the links if you need them http://parts.nalleygmc.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=372020&ukey_make=1024&ukey_model=14544&modelYear=2004&ukey_category=0&ukey_driveLine=0&ukey_TrimLevel=0&ukey_modelRange=0&searchString=Headlight

Hello,
To replace the head light bulb of your 1999 chevrolet tahoe, please carefully follow the steps below:

1. Turn off the Tahoe's engine and open the hood
2. Remove the two pins on top of the headlamp assembly.
3. Remove the outer pin by turning it outward and pulling it out.
4. Remove the inner pin by turning it inward and pulling it out
5. Pull out the headlamp lens assembly. Unplug the electrical connector,
6. Turn the bulb counterclockwise to remove it. Install the new bulb into the assembly and rotate it clockwise to lock it into place.
7. Plug in the electrical connector. Place the assembly back into the vehicle and reattach the pins. Close the hood.

Hope this information helped you. Take care and good luck

pull upward on black cover above headlamp assy. (marked pull here for headlamp service) you will then see on the front side a large bolt above the lamp assembly that holds it to the front of the car. it is a 10MM socket you will then need to remove a similar bolt on the top and bottom on the center front of the car where the assembly bolts up to the sheet metal. on the corner near the cornering lamp is a star shaped head bolt. (looks like star of david) you will need another small metric socket to remove this. this will free up the cornering lamp from the headlamp assembly. gently pull forward and away from headlamp assembly. remove both light pig tails by gently twisting on pigtails. you will then see 2 nuts which are also 10mm remove these and gently pull forward on entire headlamp assembly. you will need needle nose pliers to compress the head of plastic retaining tabs on headlight and signal light pig tails where they are held into the headlamp assembly. gently twist hi-low beam sockets free of the headlamp assembly then do like wise with the signal lamps. to install reverse procedure as above. note: the side with the cornering lamp has a tab that must fit back into tab-hole in front sheet metal of the front fender.

Remove the headlamp assembly by pulling up on the tabs behind the headlamp assembly and pull outward.once you get this out you will be able to see how the bulb comes out.Hope this helps.Good luck.

All information about Headlamps removal can find in the Service Manual Section ZJ-Secc-8L-Lamps...




Hope help with this (remember rated this). Good luck.

Check all the fuses. Could be a bad relay for the head lights.

On a 99 Tahoe Don't remove the grill.. There are two 6 inch long, hex head, vertical screws protruding from the frame above the headlight. To unscrew use a small hex socket.. maybe 1/4 inch. Turn the screws counterclockwise to remove till loose then pull up. The screws serve as a linch pin to secure the headlight to the mounting bracket. Here's a pic of the driver side light. Also, I had very good results with my park light lenses in 5 minutes with a hand drill, a soft buffing pad, and some fine polish. They were yellow and dull and looked clear and white when done. I washed the inside of the lense with soapy water and a soft toothbrush.. it made a big difference.
