Conversion to ellipsoid headlights

I am converting to ellipsoid headlights.
Now I noticed that the headlight hits a piece of metal frame.
Does anyone know how this is constructed in the later types (1988/1989) E24? There must be more space.

Just cut the metal back to clear the light. Treat the cut edge. There is plenty of metal left.

Thanks, was thinking of doing that but then I changed my mind. I would like to make it as it is on the late models.
