Read more here (point 4.3), or make a test assembly in LDD.
This reference is confusing in that it uses millimeters whereas I think in terms of LDU where 1 inch equals 64 LDU. (Which is probably not true either.)

Thanks! I might have used the technic part instead, since the 0.1 mm difference does not appear in the LDraw technic parts (but does exist in LDD). Sadly, the headlight is inset on one side, and the gap is clearly visible from a distance when placed among regular bricks.
Has TLG ever explained why they chose to create the 0.1 mm difference in technic parts?
