Looking for one, but haven't found it yet.

My side burner's piezo (Silver C) isn't sparking that well, so I have a new kit to install.
 
Thanks much, Kelvin, but the video posted above does not address the Silver-C side burner Piezo.

I should have taken some pictures of my endeavor, but I managed to install the new piezo. However, it was not without difficulty.

It should have been a pinch to remove the rectangular plastic ignitor button, but I couldn't get all four tabs depressed far enough lift the sucker out. Instead, I had to pull off the gas valve knob, unscrew the valve retaining nut, and that allowed me to remove a black metal strap, which then allowed me to pull out the old piezo.

The kit came with a new electrode, but I could not remove the old one due to a frozen screw. The screw didn't look very rusty, and I sprayed it with PB Blaster, but the screw would not bulge even with a pair of vice-grips around the head.

Nevertheless, the new ignitor works better than the old one, and the old electrode still works as it should.
