If you can't find a kit: I modded my K1 to illuminate the LCD back in '03, before the mod kit was available. It's pretty easy to do (a white sticker, two leds, and a resistor) and works very well, but it does require a transreflective LCD in place of the original reflective one supplied back then. I tried the mod with original LCD and it didn't work IDK if later ones came standard with the transreflective LCD. If you have or can get a transreflective LCD, I'd be happy to describe the mod and email some photos that detail the mod and show the results. Lou W7HV

I don’t see it listed on the Elecraft site anymore and am kicking myself for not picking one up sooner. If anyone has a kit that is no longer needed, I would be interested.
