Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for such a place? I don't wanna get harrassed by cops either.

edit: needs 25 ft of space between the headlights and the wall.

Any empty parking lot at night will do the trick...just find a wall that you can shine your headlights at...

but taking off the bumper at night in an empty parking lot alone is pretty suspicious looking LOL. I haven't updated my drivers license yet and the address is still a norcal address.

edit: btw calvin i tried doing it through the fender liner but the socket for fogs adjustment was too far inwards. i.e the bumper has to come off

i did it in my garage with 3 feet of space lol. if you think about it, as long as the ground is level you should not have to worry about the vertical height which is what i needed to adjust. my garage is sloped up a little so i raised my beams about 1" each and it worked out perfect i think.
