  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Pull the center high-mount stop lamp cover to disengage the retaining tabs.
  3. Unfasten the lamp retaining screws.
  4. Remove the sockets using a suitable prybar to release the retaining tabs.
  5. Detach the bulbs from their sockets.
  6. Using a suitable prybar to release the tabs, remove the lamp lens.

I have a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE. Have had periodic problems starting.Battery seems fine and someone told me it may be the fuel pump which is supposedly in the gas tank.(big money replacement job) Or...

your car would struggle at high speeds if it was the fuel pump.

Go to a mechanic, I can't stress this enough, and get a full systems check. Basically the mechanic pulls out this mini computer lookin device and hooks it up to your engine and tells you everything that is wrong. It's 50-80 bucks. Well worth it.

Try engine cleaner (put into a full tank of gas) or a tune up would do nothing but help.
