I hadn't tested it but just did and it works fine. I've never had any
trouble sticking plates into the back of headlight bricks before

designers at Lego are very, very clever.

Ok, yea, a bit of bevel would help a lot (even if it technically isn't quite
enough, LEGO can give some to absorb minor imperfections). Of course if they
had been very, very, very clever, they would have figured out how to have
the stud height be the proper 1/2 plate thickness... It does prevent some
constructions from working correctly.
