Followed this tutorial with the V3 backlights that nonfinite is offering now. Just modified the tutorial to line up with how the V3 tutorial works with the DMG (no more cutting of the backlight panel, and no removal of the power LED.)
So, anybody out there new to the scene who's trying to figure out how to mod a pocket (like me, haha) look no further, this worked awesome. 
Thanks for the tutorial, Bibin!
