LED backlight mod good for a regular GBA?

dunno where else to put this, but I'm thinking of getting a regular GBA (the non-sp one). Since the first GBA doesn't have a backlight, I'm thinking of doing the LED mod to it. Is this possible?

you should just use the afterburner kit

the Afterburner was hard to install but I don't think a led mod would get the light centered. http://www.lik-sang.com sell an afterburner kit which comes with a front plate so you don't need you to hack up the case of you GBA. I used it and it was prety simple just watch out for dust in the screen.

Yeha I've known about the afterburner for a while now; it was my second choice. The only reason I was thinking of the LED mod instead is it would prolly be cheaper.

I'm looking at Lik-Sang right now; when you buy the case mod thing do you get the afterburner with it too or do you have to buy it seperately?

Talking about this thing...

You can't backlight the GBA. But it can be frontlit. That's actually how the GBA SP is lit. And the only nice way to internally light the GBA is with the Afterburner kit.

I afterburned my gba. It was really good when it first came out. The sp lighting is better though.
