Without modification to the reflectors, no. And that would be very difficult. Why do you need to do this? If the beam pattern isn't wide enough for you, there's always a projector swap...

On the 5.5 headlamp there is a bolt on the left corner looking at the headlamp from the back of it, you can move it left to right, but it won't make it wider i believe.

mine are both kinda broken. the passanger side is even worse I tried a philips screw driver to adjust but I moves very little not only that but one side in higher than the other... any suggestions on how to adjust them if the **** is not moving without spending $300+ on a new set???
