Do the bars from the TJM bumper get in the way of headlight adjustments? They look awfully close to the top edge of the light and I know that the inspection places around here stick something on the lights for alignments now.

No they don't, the adjustment screws are accessed by opening the hood....

Thanks. I was thinking (obviously not typing) more about the units that they put on the lights for alignment. Not the actual screws. The good old days of pointing at the wall to adjust at night are long gone I guess!
Thanks,

I don't like those generic alignment tools, I still do all my light adjusting at night, the gear driven adjusters are very simple to access with a philips screwdriver to turn the gear. I do a static adjustment against my garage door, then I go for a test drive, if it's not quite right I pull over and make fine tune adjustments. To me it's personal preference on exactly where you point the lights, as long as it's not blinding the other drivers.

My Datsun 510, I rewired the 4 headlights so I could have all of them with low beam, then took the 2 inside lights and crossed the beams so the left light pointed to the right side and the right light pointed to the left. So when I was canyon road racing at night, as the car leaned into a turn, the light would lift and point around the corner. I plan to do the same thing when I get driving lights for my TJM bumper.
