This is a very simple mod you can do to help clean up your G8's lines. I replaced the glaringly-orange "side vent" turn signal bulb with a 4-LED cluster that is clear when off but blinks orange when activated. Install takes less than 10 minutes and costs 10 bucks plus tax.
You are looking for a "194 wedge" replacement. I bought mine at the store with the same initials as "Arizona" for ten dollars for a set of two.
Hit up G8Board[dot]com and search for "Side Vent Turn Signal Bulbs" or "Anyone do a mod for the fender turn signal/vent thingy?" for more details. If you have questions ask them on the board - everyone is super-helpful and will point you in the right direction! Good luck and drive safe!
It's been a while since I did this but as far as I remember just grip the vent and lens assembly by the lens using your finger tips and firmly apply pressure laterally toward the front of the vehicle. The whole black plastic "vent" will come loose and you have easy access to the bulb and wire. From there just pull out the amber bulb and pop in your replacement. It's pretty simple.
