Default When did your LED obsession begin?

I started with my Harley in 2001 and a company called Radiantz. It progressed to my Ram with a company called Autolumination. Now with my tC I am using Oznium, Autolumination, and V-Leds. I am completely obsessed, my wife feels I need LEDAnnonymous. She won't let me hook up her Nitro though. Anyone else obsessed?

I like led's, and stick them were ever I can. But I also set a boundry, to prevent myslelf from crossing into the "ricer" threshold.

I'm obsessed with redoing my interior upholstery. I'm at 3 changes and counting. I can see myself getting obsessed with LED since their real cheap and easy to work with once you get the hang of it. Not only that there are about a billion places on the tc that you can LED up. I don't want to name them because then you will go on another LED high haha.

I became obsessed with LEDs when I started modding/building my own PC a few years ago...even my keyboard has 3 different backlights (saitek eclipse II) There is a "threshold" for me too like mentioned before. But not because I'm afraid of being called made-up labels. I like it clean and even, not LEDs everywhere they fit just because they are cheap. I also hate it when you can see the bulb. Also, some places LEDs just don't belong IMO..such as the AC vents.

Oh yeah! They are the sweetest thing Mag ever came out with!
I don't have LED's anywhere where there wasn't a bulb before. I just replace the existing incandescents with LED. Just recently found my rear cargo light, I had never looked under the security cloth thing back there and since it wasn't on I didn't know it was there. (LED ordered) I was using my LED MagLite to see for my stuff back there when I got to work.

haha that stroller is awsome. I got hooked because on my first car, the xB my mom got me the interior lighting package. I loved how it looked and now I stick LEDs anywhere I can in my tC. I've got em in the glovebox, both armrest compartments, dash cubby, airvents, and I might do the cup holders. I have cathods under the dash too, but I think I'm going to swap out for LED strips soon so the colors match better.

There is definatly a line to be drawn though. Go just a bit to crazy and before you know it its rice lol
