In early 2003, Nintendo upgraded the Game Boy Advance giving it an internal front-light that can be turned on or off, a rechargeable lithium ion battery, as well as a folding case approximately half the size of the GBA. It was designed to address some common complaints with the original GBA.
Interestingly, complaints about the original GBA screen being hard to see prompted a cottage industry of lighting solutions. This included the Afterburner Frontlighting Kit. This was a kit that sold for $30 and needed to be installed inside the original GBA. This Front-light turned out to be almost identical to Nintendo's solution to lighting the GBA SP.
