Well, after doing a little bit more research, it looks like the best course of action is to get new headlight assembly since the reflectors/turn signals are a safety issue/requirement. Chalk one up for a hard lesson learned: don't fool with safety equipments on cars, lol.

I wonder if it's possible to just swap the top turn signal reflectors only and leave the bottom headlight reflectors alone. I was able to move them somewhat while painting them. Anyone know? This way I won't have to redo the projector retrofit. Although the end results were great, it was a PITA to retrofit.

Yes, it is possible to swap the bowls. That's how I kept mine from getting paint all over them instead of taping them off. They are removable; however, whether they are sold as a part or as an entity of the entire headlight assembly is a different story and one that I don't know the answer to.
