I'll try - it's been a while, but I did take photos. Basically I replaced the frosted plastic slab behind the display screen with my own custom made light source. This is a separately powered array of 20 amber SMD LEDs soldered to a circuit board. The board was made in classic amateur fashion by copper etching the circuit traces and soldering pads of standard copper clad board. Of course I had to learn how to do it first and I bought the chemicals from ebay. I felt it was worth the effort having paid a lot for the MG7 kit and really wanted to keep it. It involved a lot of trial and error, but I found it all qute fascinating.
So, it's not for the faint hearted. I could write up a HowTo if there's any interest in the MG7 kit these days.
