Default Camaro headlight install question

Finally broke down and bought some DEPO whistler headlights for the SS. I plan on throwing them on the car later. I remember seeing somewhere that ill need to use a spacer of some sort to make them sit flush with the bumper.

Is there a writeup or a picture of this? I want to put these on since my current headlights are awful. I looked but couldnt find a detailed explanation of what is needed

Thanks in advance,
Adam

I just used a washer on each side right where the bolt is to push them out a little more

I have the Depo headlights on mines but in the OEM style instead of whistler and they fit almost like stock without a spacer or anything. I feel like I should add though the quality of the light itself is not great (at least the ones I was sent), on my passenger side headlight a little bit of the rubber trim came off and it simply does not fit as well as the drivers side, which bothers me.
