Reverse switch on trans. is, most-likely, broken or stuck on somehow. You need to check it and/or replace it.
how do you replace backup lights on 99 grand am?
It doesn't have any. The only C2 (1963-1967) with backup lights is the '67.
Tail lights. Brake lights. Backup lights. Signal lights. License plate lights.
There are two backup lights next to the red tail lights.

Either the switch that turns the backup lights on is out of adjustment, or has failed in the on position.
Try checking the neutral safety switch. This switch is the one in automatic transmissions that makes the backup lights "flip" on when going from park to drive as you go through the gears. When my neutral safety switch shorted my backup lights stayed on constantly.
I would check the wires just behind the light. I had the same problem and the wires were broken a little just wiggle them as the lights are on.

The backup light switch is mounted on the transmission casing.
Check the backup light switch.
Check the circuitry to the backup lights. The same fused circuit is probably used for both brake lights and backup lights. As you go past Reverse, the backup light probably is turned on briefly, causing the fuse to blow. It's just a thought, but I'd think it worth checking.
