Gen 4 to gen 4.5 radiator support swap for headlight conversion

Can anyone tell me if the radiator support for the gen 4.5 fit on the gen 4? I’m getting things together for my gen 4.5 front conversion, and I remember some one saying you need to cut a piece of the gen 4 radiator support out for the gen 4.5 headlight to fit. If the gen 4.5 radiator support is a direct fit I’ll just swap it out. Any knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated.

If this is true that would make everything a WHOLE lot easier. I had to cut most of the metal behind my headlights to get the 4.5s to work. Now my headlights arnt mounted right... my bad...
Definatly go with it cause modifiying the radiator mount (like i did) has definatly caused problems. If you find it does work... ill definatly be doing that.

Can you tell me exactly what part you had to cut? Do you have a picture of it? The reason I ask is because on some of the Toyota Part sites you can purchase parts of the radiator support individually.
Thanks for the response.
