Yeah you can.

You need a very thin needle type tool, put it inside the jet you wish to move.

Once you move it turn the water jets on and see if you like the way it sprays.

Note: be very careful when you adjust it, the needle can sometimes break inside the nozzle and mess everything up.

So you can spray other drivers... Why in the world would you do this?

No, they cannot be aimed outwards..

It would look awkward, and you wouldn't have any jets pointing to your windshield if you needed it.

I wouldn't do that. If you wanna spray ppl with water, I would just get a water bottle or a water gun and do the job right.

Still a bad idea IMHO.

Yea they only fit one way dude. I could be wrong but im pretty sure they are supposed to point at the windshield.

Well this is a new one on me. I know modders like to make changes to their car so it's different from the pack, but turning one of your washer jets around so it squirts your hood instead of your windshield?

You probably could make it face outward, it might look weird tho and not sit right in the groove its supposed to be in.

They simply pop in or out. You can aim anywhere but you'll probably need to re-route the washer fluid hoses.

On most if not all modern cars this can not be done. Now if were talking cars from the 50s-70s yes it can be done my father said he used to do it all this time. Why not retrofit a third sprayer down by where the wiper rests facing outwards to discretly spray other drivers.

A couple more mods like that and he will be well on his way to a 007 Rating... next he could do the oil slick and smoke screen
