The 2004 Tahoe has an odd turn signal set up. There is a tiny white bulb behind an orange cover and an orange bulb behind a whited cover. After I got the lights at Autozone I though it can't be too hard to put them in. I opened the hood and stared at it, and didn't see any way to get to the light bulb. Then I layed under the car (fortunately the Tahoe is high enough), and thought again, there is no way to get to it.

Then I saw this youtube video. It takes about 5 minutes. Really ingenious American design. Turn to holding bars, pull them out. That makes the headlight pop out, so you can get to the turn signal. Then push against a plastic piece that holds the turn signal assembly and the whole thing pops out. You change the light bulb, do everything in revers and you're done.

I love my Chevy Tahoe! :)
