Hi friends. Ive been looking for someone to install a better backlight or EL panel in my E-trac to no avail. Minelab and Kellyco both said no. Anyone here with the expertise to do it?

I want better than OK! I want it like it should be.
not sure how it should be, but took mine out tonight and its bright enough for me, I like the F19's red back light doesn't glare my eyes so I can see the coil at night and its more stealth mode also 
but like I said crack the control box open & check out the globe size and get a brighter one only suggestion I can offer.

The LED inside would need the correct resistor attached to it. You just can't put in a bigger globe (LED).
But they do make low and bright light LED's. The bright LED's will blind you if looked at. Makes for a good self defense tool at night. I know used them on my first Pi as a power on indicator light.
