Not if the reflectors aren't sending the light to the correct area of the lense. The lense only changes the angle of the light hitting it, if the light is coming from a different direction (different point on the reflector), it will leave at a different (wrong) angle.

Reflectors, bulbs, and lenses are designed together. This is the problem with changing the light-source in a light assembly (EX: going from a filament bulb to an HID), it changes how the light is distributed on the reflector, the lense, and thus outside of the light.

Have you noticed that many headlamps have no optics in the lenses? Clear shield only? How the reflector have no influence on the light? The reflector is the most important part of headlamps.
