Default 96 s10 blazer headlight removalmoval and replacement

Ok so i have attached a picture of the headlight assembly i have in my 96 blazer. I would like to replace them and upgrade the bulbs so they are brighter and i can see better but i cant seem to figure out how to get them out. I am also wondering if there are sealed beam lights inside the assembly. Im asking this because every time search for replacement healights it comes up with 4x6 sealed beam replacements but it doesnt look like thats what they are. any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like you have the composite headlights, open up your hood, and look behind the headlight, should be able to remove the bulb, and find out what kind it is, I am not exactly sure what bulb yours uses.

your hi-beam bulb is a 9005, low-beam is a 9006. They're real common
