Hi, if you have a 14" laptop you could have this keyboard with a backlight. But, like you said, we don't know if you have the connector for the backlight for the keyboard on the motherboard.
Have you ever seen a Lenovo Ideapad 300 with a backlit keyboard? Not sure if they made any or not. Looking at the parts lists for the 300 series (both 15" and 17"), nowhere does it mention a backlit keyboard.
