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...

The plates wont reverse, the shape is complex.

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
