They're usually not designed to be dismantled, but where there's a will ;) How brave are you feeling?

The deflector plates are (should be!) too complex a shape to reverse.

Your best bet would be to get some suitable projectors off a scrappie & fabricate brackets to fit. I did that (new Hellas) for the Civic before RHD units were available.

Or kick it in the head & get some RHD ones - I think Crazy the God on Ebay does loads of options. Maybe only for 5Gs though...

What is the shape? Anyone got a picture? Could an RHD plate be fabricated?

Yes, but since it needs to be absolutely precision-made, it'd be cheaper to buy a new car.

I've still got an old EK-set with 50mm Hella projectors. You can have them (yours will be 60mm) if you want
