If you go to www.mashmods.com, they will install a light in your NGPC for $50. Sounds a little pricey but when you consider the cost of parts, and the amount of time it takes to install one of those buggers, it really isn't a bad deal. You just have to send them your system.

I am probably interested in getting one of these, but the pictures didn't make it look all too appealing. Does anyone have firsthand experience with this mod?

I used to do the Neo Geo Pocket Color Front-Light Mod.
You just used the Afterburner kit for the GBA.
It looks just as good as a GBA SP, if you think that an SP looks good. :)
It sure made it a lot more fun to play the NGPC though. But you did lose a small 1/16" at the bottom of the screen because the light guide was a little to small.
Oh and I don't reccomend Mashmods. their customer service SUCKS and they have gotten a bad reputation in the GP32 Scene.

Sorry but it's next to impossible to find the Afterburner kits anymore.
They stopped selling them and only a few pop up on Ebay and they usually sell for $40-50.
