They worked, although "well" is a relative term. Pretty much every other option at the time was garbage, and then along came the worm light with its adjustable stem and brilliantly bright white LED.

Playing a Gameboy Color indoors was always a shitty experience. The worm light at least made it less shitty though, so back then it was a must-have accessory. These days your best bet is a front-light mod with LOCA (or better yet, a front light salvaged from a GBA SP) because that's pretty much the best that the Gameboy Color's screen is ever going to look.

I'm going to install the LOCA screen mod this week. I bought the LOCA that's supposed to be reversible, so maybe I'll try the SP light mod someday since people say it looks better. Regular Gameboy Advance SP screens go for pretty cheap these days because people only want the AGS 101 model, though that could potentially change if lots of people start wanting to mod their GBC units. I'll have to see how I feel about the aftermarket light once it's installed, because I have an SP to compare it to.
