Mine shoot straight up, lol...its kinda funny but impractical.

I've tried a screwdriver and pliers, but they wont move...

Sounds like a personal problem.

I did this once on another car by sticking a big pin in the nozzle hole and moving it around... its sorta like a ball-joint.

Spray them with WD40 or something, and use something pointy (I used a test light on my hatch squirter) to move the little ball around.

Do you guys really use the headlight washers? I've head that headlight washers can help in super cold weather to de-ice the headlights.

If it's something you don't use, take the system out. I pulled the headlight washer tank out of my 10th Anniversary, filled it with water, and weighed it. 20 pounds of dead weight, right where you don't want it.

I'm not a big fan of gutting stuff for the sake of gutting, but a feature that has ZERO use for me (in Florida) and adds that much mass had to go.

Anyhow, to answer the original question, you can aim most any washer nozzle with a pin - just stick the pin in the squirter hole and you can tilt and aim the nozzle. Pretty easy.
