Adding a LED to switch ON when Vin is within window

I am about to test a circuit including this integrator and decided to add a LED turning on when Vin is within window.

The actual Vwin (comparator's output) is quite close to what LTSpice predicts.

Remaining space in the crowded board, allows just a TO92 and few resistors. All what I tried with BJTs created problems to the integrator or did not work.

Could anyone come with an effective design? I spent one full journey trying in LTSpice because I do not dare to rsik the only two pairs of JFETs I got (2 x 2N5461 Pchannel + 2 x J310 N channel).

Please note: I need to add a LED and NOT to modify the integrator.

Just in case I am adding the .asc file plus model and subckt

Gracias for any ideas.

It's not clear to me exactly what you are trying to do and why (how) it doesn't work. :confused:
Can you post a complete circuit including the LED and BJT.

What's with the strange blue schematic background color?

Sorry Carl. Too many things I tried and no one worked.

The LED has to go ON when Vin is within UL and LL limits.
