Any word on if this will fit into a GBP? If so, I'd be interested in having one, since my GBP has been out of commission for a while on account of my last backlight (the RGBva one) being too thick and so I took it all apart and put it in a box.

thats what i plan on doing, modding a pocket, but then i realize, where would i put the resistor? heh, idk the schematic for a pocket real well =p

The resistor won't be a problem at all. I like to cut the anode wire in half and put it somewhere in the middle, then put the shrink tubing over it.
I can make a tutorial. I just need to get a GBP first...

Thanks for the offer, but I may have to leave the tutorial up to Kitsch. I'd like to make one just to help out Kitsch, but I can't go out of my way right now because my last two orders have me off purchasing anything for the next little while. It wouldn't aid me much since my profit from the panels is solely from my modification service. Shipping to and from Canada would be a bit steep.
I'll make one eventually if no one beats me to it.

i'll look for a pocket and get to doing this. i just don't have any laying around, but i'll get one and do this backlighting them is easy and pretty much the same, but having a tut would work well. although, its very easy to destroy those screens...

Here's my tutorial on how to install the panels.

Differs slightly from Kitsch's tutorial, but it's the same general idea.

there is clear teal though.... (yeah, i know, totally not the same)
but, in all honesty, the list of colors was a LOT longer. my eyes were bigger than my stomach... and, the cost got crazy so i had to trim...
next time!
