Replacing it is easy, getting a new one with your body color is the hard part.
I'll be putting led's in the housing behind the mirror when I get to doing it.

led's and internal lighting is my thang.
Here's my old car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/575434
I replaced every single light and that car with red led's and replaced all the lights in the cluster with led's and cold cathodes.
Don't know how hard the G is to take apart yet, I'll get to takin apart the interior one of these days. I want to relocate the VCD button.
If you want to customize anything with lighting in the G, let me know.
I'm putting in under dash and under seat lighting here pretty soon, just got the cathodes in today.

mozz79: why don't you just go to a local shops. it should only cost you around$25
unless getting a oil change at a dealer is necessary.

Depends how much you wanna spend on oil, and when you want to change your oil again.
If you don't wanna change your oil for a good while, go synthetic (ppl have their own oil dedications, Mobil 1, Purple, etc, Eneos is a new brand I've been seeing around, even had a booth at the Anaheim D1 show last weekend). Of course this is a bit more pricey than regular oil, but it's worth it.
