Has anyone ever attempted to put a backlight in one, or know of one?

The old-school, big, original Gameboy? Not that I know of. I know Nintendo made (in japan) a Gameboy Pocket with a couple LEDs called the Gameboy Light, and nothing until the SP.

I don't imagine it would be too hard to wire up an LED or two. Or maybe modify a GameBoy Advance Afterburner light.

Yeah i would be interested in trying to do this also. I was going to try and open up my gba  and put some sort of light in there similar to a afterburner but I think I should probably try it on the older one first. Anyone Know where to get a afterburner besides ebay or how to make one?

Hell no!  Unless you feel like getting ripped off, never buy anything from Buy Rite.

Wow....those are some low, LOW ratings!

Neat looking product, though!
