    WARNINGS:

    • You do not need to purchase a separate lens. Removing pre-adhered lens from LCD can result in damage to the LCD and will void product warranty. If you received an extra lens in your order, this was likely a included plastic lens with a shell and should NOT be placed on top of the pre-adhered lens.
    • 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.

    Ella ★★★★★

    Put this in a clear shell and it looks incredible — the laminated screen sits flush with no air gap. The image is crisp and the OSD makes adjusting brightness on the fly a breeze.

    Ava I. ★★★★★

    Installed this with a new shell and the laminated screen really makes the colors pop without any glare. The OSD lets me tweak brightness on the fly, which is great for different lighting.

    Olivia M. ★★★★★

    Finally got the backlight installed and the laminated screen makes a huge difference – colors are way more vibrant than I expected. The OSD menu is super handy for tweaking brightness on the fly without any guesswork. It was a bit fiddly to fit into the shell, but totally worth the effort for that c
