I'm the happy owner of a Kobo Glo HD reader that I like too much except for one thing, the rather too bright frontlit even at level 1. Actually, in total dark, despite dimming the leds to level 1 it still strains my eyes (with or without night mode). I feel that it is too bright and I would like to be able to fix that (I'm a rather night reader).

I found an excellent hardware mod by yoq in the forum but aiming only the Kobo Glo:

I would be very grateful if some one can kindly propose a similar mod but for the Kobo GLO HD. I opened the reader and found that unfortunately, the PCBs are not the same.

Thank you very much.
