having worked at a tire shop, I'd be a little wary of those counter balance beads. i'd think they'd tear up the inside of the tire. Tape weights work just as well, we used to balance lots of offroaders with tape weights with no problems at all.

It's not like they bounce around all the time in there. They stay against the inner wall of the tire with centrifugal force.

But they're glass, and glass hitting other glass makes chips and sharp edges which could cut through tires from the inside. And you have to stop sometime.

Installed clear covers and white bulbs in my Lund moon visor and wired up the halo portion of my projector lights (brown = power, black = ground (of course). The blue wires are for the signal - for anyones future reference). I got wire tap connectors and had them on in no time. No cutting, splicing, and wrapping. Nice 'n easy. Tomorrow I install the grille guard lights. I'll start a build thread and post some pics shortly.
