Should I install a backlight in a gameboy advance sp?

I have a Gameboy Advance SP of the model AGS 001, but want a better screen. Should I attempt to do this? Does replacing the ribbon have any other effects? Should I just buy a new Gameboy Advance SP that has a brighter screen?

The ribbon connectors are different between the two models, if you want to replace the screen, you're going to have to get a pesky adapter that is really hard to fit into the shell. I recommend just getting the 101 model, it's a lot easier and if you find the right place you can get it for under $40. Hope this was helpful.
