^ I was even lazier...put the tape right on top of the cluster LMFAO...god I'm lazy. I'll do something about it one day.
I didn't even have to remove the entire bumper to install them either. Thanks again for all of the helpful info in this thread.
Here are a couple pics at the car wash got her all prettied up since it rained during my install of them yesterday. I LOVE these headlights. The wife does too.

Also, the bumper brackets that screw into the bottom of the headlights, will need slight modifications to be attached to the new MY2011 lights.. Basically dremeling some of it off that sits over the LED wire dome cap on the underside of the housings.
But still, only 2 screws will line up after that.
Does anybody have close up pictures of the modified bumper brackets? I cannot picture it in my mind how to modify them.

I used the video below for instructions.
One you remove all of the necessary bolts/tabs from the video, the bumper can be pulled down towards you from the top. With the bumper pulled forward I was able to reach the headlight bolts without having to take it completely off and worrying about it getting scratched on the ground or someone having to help me..

The brackets are black plastic pieces and you will see the shape you need to modify the brackets to fit once you actually see where the screws line up. The new headlights have a cover the old headlights didn't have, so you are cutting a shape into the brackets so they can fit over that new cover.
Also as JoeZ said, only 2 of the 3 screws will line up but I haven't had an issue yet and don't think it's a problem. The 2 screws closest to the middle of the headlight are the 2 that will end up lining up.
Since I haven't seen any pics of how people did theirs yet either, only advice I can say is that you will see what you need to do once you get there. lol

I should have taken pics when I did mine. As long as you have a good dremel to cut with this is not difficult to do at all. The only dremel I own is cheap/cordless so my battery died a couple times while cutting the brackets so that made it take a while for me.
