Just incase anyone is confused as to where to solder their Gameboy Pocket backlight (I know there are tutorials and videos out there that tell you to use the +3v from the audio circuit)
Don't use the +3v from the audio circuit as this will make your backlight flicker as it struggles to fight the speaker for 3v.

Use the +5v from the cartridge connector along with a 100 Ohm resistor to bring it down to 3v. See this image:
