LOCA is highly recommended as it seems to have the best results when done well.

Just do it and see how it turns out, for science.

The fit on the Kistch Bent frontlight is beautiful in the GBP, apart from that silver on the bottom.
The next step will be doing another but taking off just the right amount of silver from the bottom. I'm planning on trying to find some good reflective tape like that used on the screen and use it on the underside of the screen around the bezel, just to see if it does anything.

Well it turned out ok.
It was only a test really so I didn't use the best screen or do a stellar job of it, but you get the idea.
While it does look very good, it's still not quite as nice as a well done back light in my opinion. Although the fact that there is no real risk of killing the screen would make it seem alot better to some.
The actual front light fits pretty much perfectly however you would need to cut off about half of the reflective strip on the bottom, both sides. I left it here so you can see just how much is visible on the screen.

I was going to try a loca'd frontlight on a pocket this week when I get around to it.

As far as I'm aware, you can cut the frontlight panel too a little bit without and detrimental effects. As long as you are careful. Saves you cutting the Gameboy when a frontlight is far cheaper.
