There should be 2 plastic clips on the inside of the radiator support holding the entire headlight assembly in. pop these 2 clips upwards until the headlight becomes lose. Then opull the assembly out and you will find the bulb assembly with the wires attached. Remove the wire-plug and turn the bulb a quarter turn to remove it from the assembly. Reverse to re-install.

I have a 2003 Sonoma, I can't find any plastic clips, just what appears to be an adjusting screw. Am I looking in the wrong place?

You might be able toreplace the bulb without taking the headlight out.

See if you can gain access from the engine bay.

You can replace the bulbs without pulling the headlight.... The clips are on the inside of the radiator support... There are 2 of them, L shaped. Pull them straight up and out.
