    WARNINGS:

    • Test before installation! When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell. This includes the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering. All ribbon cables should have no bends or creases in them. If you are unsure how to perform a dry run, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help. Backlight kits that have been installed are not eligible for replacement or return.

    • LCD may break if put under too much pressure or dropped. Please exercise extreme caution when installing.

    Easy to use and install

    Install was easy, had to do my research in several places online, the links for installation are really basic. No problems with the product, but the adhesive on the screen took an hour to clean before I installed the backlight.

    Great backlight mod

    It took me a while to figure everything out and almost gave up when i couldn't get the polarizer off, but eventually got it off, put the backlight on, and it looks great.

    Works Great

    This worked great and I was able to install by following the linked video. This was my first backlight and bivert mod. This is the washed yellow version, which IMO keeps the feel of the original display while improving the experience dramatically.
