Stephen, you hit it on the head, the 1552's are gonna be too wide for the bumper slot with a license plate. One way around that though, is if LA does not require a front license plate, remove it, and the bracket, and you should have the room. Also, check PIAA's site, they have a few Series that are comparable in size to the 1400 Series, and may give you some more options. IMHO, the bumper slot is a "safe" place to put them, because they are pretty much protected by the bumper, and won't accidentally get "dragged" over obstacles like they would if they were under the bumper.
