Yes, I trimmed the bracket as well, as you mentioned and as Derek showed with the red markings... In addition, on the underside of the headlight I also trimmed off the 'slot' that the brackets slide into on the leading edge. This allows for super fast removal, and also allowed them to sit perfectly. It took me a while to figure out exactly where it was hitting, but if you install it a bit, see where it hits, take it out, trim it, then reinstall, etc etc... It will work.
If you flip over your headlight and take a pic of the underside, I can PS it and show you where I trimmed...
Also, for the sake of future removal, I didn't reinstall that pain in the ass screw on the inner bottom. The one closest to the kidneys... F that screw, its a pain to get in and out and the lights are PLENTY secure with just the 3 other bolts.
