On many cars, the nozzles can be adjusted by inserting a straight pin into the nozzle and rotating the little ball-like device containing the nozzle. Just be careful not to insert the pin more than a very small amount. And, bear in mind that this advice may not apply to all cars. If the nozzle aperture is not contained in a small ball-like device, then I suggest that you not attempt this procedure. However, I also have to say that whoever installed new nozzles, is also responsible for aiming them properly. ---

Why not take the car back to where the work was done? They probably forgot to adjust them. OTOH, leave them where they are. It is a real neat feature if someone in a convertible is tailgating you.
