on the underside of the car, just in front of the tires, there is a little hatch-like thing that you open downwards and then you will have access to the back-side of the lights...its hard to reach them in some cases but after toying around with them they will pull out of the light assembly

The access panel on the bottom of the car is help in place with 2 bolts. Remove them and pull the panel down and out of the way. Reach your hand up inside and find the wire harness. Follow it to the socket back. There's a locking mechanism on the socket back. Squeeze it and rotate the socket while gently pulling down. When the socket is free it will come down. Pull the bulb out (part number 3157). When replacing the bulb use plenty of dielectric grease. These sockets (for some stupid reason) install perpendicular to the ground instead of parallel making them nice water entrapment areas. Also check the lens cover for cracks, replace if cracked. Seal the seat of the socket where it contacts the light bodies housing with RTV or dielectric grease. Remove the lens cover and put a bead of RTV or dielectric grease on it's mating surface and reinstall. I used to go through bulbs every couple of months and haven't had a problem since doing this.

Can you put a 2001 Pontiac Montana transmission into a 1996 Pontiac firebird?

NO! the Montana is a front wheel drive minivan and the firebird is a rear wheel drive, even if they were both rear wheel drive for some reason, the firebird engine would shred the wimpy minivan trans and it would be just wrong to put a minivan trans in a firebird.
