We have 2 PHP each with 2 days and 1 plus left on them. Would like to give them to my ILs. Can days be added to them? If so where can this be done?
 
Days cannot be added to the pass, but a prorated amount of the original purchase price can be applied to a new pass purchase.

This can only be done at the Guest Services windows at WDW. You only get credit for the unused park days--nothing for unused Plus options. So, if it was originally a 5-day PHP, 2/5 of the value would be applied toward a new ticket purchase.

If the pass was originally purchased from the Disney Store, WDW or any other official Disney channel, you should get the full pro-rated amount as credit. If it was purchased through a ticket broker like Ticketmania or Florida Orlando Tickets, you will only get a prorated portion of the wholesale value of the ticket applied. Those vendors make bulk ticket purchases at reduced rates and apply their own markup to turn a profit. You don't get credit for their markup.

Finally, since you can only upgrade at WDW itself, your new pass will be charged at the higher "gate" prices--not the advance purchase prices.

As you might imagine, it's usually better to just keep your existing passes and purchase new ones for the additional days you need. If your inlaws are going for 4 or 5 days, let one of them use both passes and advance purchase a single new PHP for the other. If the trip is any longer duration, then let them each use-up your passes and advance purchase 4 or 5 day PHs for the latter days of the trip. Upgrading will likely cost you more.

More like applying the dollar value of the leftover admissions will always cost you more for what the OP wants to do. As tjkraz said, you will be charged the higher gate price for the new ticket. That alone will add around $25 more to the price of each new PHP. Couple that with any discount you might have had on the original tickets when you bought them and you will lose the savings you got from that as well.

Your ILs will be far better off just purchasing in advance whatever other admissions they need for their trip and using up the leftover days.
