So I replace the drivers side low bulb on my 2017 Tahoe with no problem. On the passenger side I got the out H11 bulb out and the new bulb in but had to shift my hand in order to turn the bulb.
It slid out of my hand and was resting in the housing and I thought, no problem it should move. Wrong, it did move and now I don't see the bulb.

How far into the head light housing could the bulb have fallen?
Do I need to pull the head light housing out of the Tahoe in order to get the bulb?

you will probably have to pull the light and roll it around, it will be inset into the projector housing.

Ya, I thought I may have to remove the housing. This will be a task for Monday.

I didn't wait. I got it done today.
One thing I learned from this...not to drop the light bulb next I need to replace the bulb.
