Default all the freakin' lights!(rant)

When did turning you car into a christmas tree become a "cool " thing to do? I can't understand why everyone is so into LED lights all over their car! Do we really NEED our water bottles lit up in our cup holders? Can someone please explain this too me?

..........sitting here shaking my head trying to figure this out.................

sorry, but I'm amazed at how much money people are willing to pay for this mod. Seems a waste to me.......but I'm willing to hear the plus side!

the plus side for my kit:
when you drop your keys on the floor, you can see them, and pick them up.

OK..let me explain............

I get sooooooo many people who ask me to turn on the inside lights that they think comes on all our cars...when I say I didn't buy it, and couldn't figure why I'd need it.....plus it was so expensive......they always get disapointed!

ok, were cool.

heres my rant about lights:

if you go through all of the trouble to hang christmas lights on your house. Take them down after january. I see houses that have had christmas lights up for over 3 years! I should start a christmas light removal service. $$$

I'm feeling you on the lights thing scionaraxb. I think there a big waste of money. No offense randode. Your's are price at a very reasonable price. But I don't see whats the big deal is. It is just another reason for the pigs to pull you over. And the lights on the under carriage Don't DOOZE DAT!

I TOTALLY agree about Randode and his kits......saves a bunch of bucks and from what I read on this site...his stuff is high quality :D

I meant no disrespect to anyone. Just asking why.

Default LIGHTS

Randy's Kits are cool! I think they add just the right glow to the interior! One of the best mods for the car, everybody I show loves them! Thanks again! B

I dig my interior lighting. Do I need it, hellz no. But It's great for finding stuff on the floor at night (the xB is dark at night time, so it helps), and it's incentive to keep my floormats clean, because the dirt shows!

For each his own I guess
