I used a dremmel to get one nut off, and ended up melting the plastic on the other, pulling the bolt right through (I'm sure I can cover the hole with a large washer). All this took me over an hour. Ridiculous!

I have the factory harness/plug on my 2009. Not sure what to do with that...

Anyway, I put the old lens back in (put a long sheetroack screw in throught the bottom hole for the black metal backing plate) so it doesn't look stupid.

The tips on this thread have been very, very helpful!
This dremel nightmare was EXACTLY the same thing that happened to me.
