my 86 bassicaly points to the ground, ive got no idea how to angle them up highger either :\
makes things very interesting when you can only see 5-10meters in front of you at night time
can anyone help?

have you looked at the headlight at all before you asked?
basically there is a few long screws behind the light somewhere, should be very easy to get to, have a play with them at night time with your car pointed at a wall. make sure you dont make them to high or youll annoy all the on coming traffic.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

yes i had a look at it before i posted.
i keep turning and turning it and it still doesnt go up any higher.
is there another place i can tilt them higher?

then you have an internal problem with your headlight, when you adjust them the other way do they go down? if so I have your solution

well... out with it? I have recently done all my headlights and stuff but haven't put them in the car but i havea funny feeling there is no adjustment left in them as in when i try to go up it's just gonna pop out of the thread :angry:
well if its an old trick that if your out of adjustment then you space the headlight up with washers on the bottom to angle it up manually. The headlights should have a protection against winding off the thread anyhow

there's a good chance they're broken then,which wouldn't be a surprise,given their age.
there are TWO adjusting screws,one is for height,the other is lateral alignment. park the car about 5m from a wall and set the lights so that the focussed line they project is approx. 350mm above ground level at that distance.
that should be pretty close to RTA specs.

nah mine canwind out damn it the washers would just slide out though wouldn't they or are you sugggesting gluiing washers in?
no, unbolt the headlight and shim the headlight up by putting washers between the rad support and the two bottom studs of the headlight unit itself
