I am not sure what model of light and trim you have. I would take
a scrap piece of rock and loose set the light, even screw the rock
to some scrap lumber to duplicate the installed position. Snap on
the trim. I think you will find that the trim is well able to
conceal the 1/8" discrepancy.

I have to use 3/8 sheetrock for my kitchen ceiling to match an
adjacent dining room ceiling. I was ready to install some
Hi-Hats in
my ceiling, but the brackets are designed to go under the
ceiling
joists, leaving the depth of the hi-hat for 1/2" sheetrock.
This
obviously will not work for me, so does anyone have any
suggestions
how to modify the bracket to accomodate 3/8 sheetrock? I was
thinking
install the hi-hat first, then bang the bracket upwards a few
times to
get the 3/8 depth I need, but maybe theres a better way to go
about it.
