If there's a thread of someone already doing this out here please disregard
After receiving my X70 I knew one of the drawbacks was the lack of a back-light. I've owned many machines that have had them as I do a lot of early morning / late evening hunts. After debating against opening the housing (I saw on the mods forum how to do it, but I just don't want to take the chance) I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and wanted something simple.
After a couple of weeks, I came up with this; (EBAY) Black Flexible White LED Clip On Reading Book Light Lamp for Amazon Kindle LWUS
Hey, for $2.50 I couldn't beat the solve! I slipped the book light behind the housing protector and wrapped it behind the X-Terra housing, and then the velcro strap holds the excess in place. The picture doesn't do the book light justice, but this is the best one I could take in the dark. The Vid #'s show up perfect and so does the depth. If any of you have the same issue, this is a quick, easy and inexpensive solve.
Thanks for viewing and if any of you have any advice or suggestions please comment.
Godspeed and God Bless!
