Default LS430 washer nozzles. Can they be aimed?

Not sure how it took me so long to realize this, but I noticed that on my passengers side washer nozzle, the top most of the three little holes aim is ridiculously high. When at a stand still, it shoots completely past the windshield, over the roof, and just barely grazes the trunk before the stream lands on the ground behind the vehicle.

Although an impressive feat that will keep tailgaters away, does anyone aware if these can have minor adjustments done with a pin? Or is it gonna damage the bejesus out of the nozzle?

Yup, just stick a pin/needle in them and tweak them to where you want them.
Remember that when at speed they will hit lower on the screen than when parked.

I was beside someone the other day at a red light who squirted his screen and pretty much all of it went over his car and hit the car behind.
As I drove off the 2 of them were having a shouting match. <LOL>
