Try a Rapido forum, likely one on FB

Hello. Thanks for your reply and I may well try that.
Of course my search is not limited to Rapido as my van is on a standard low profile Fiat chassis.

Hopefully straightforward then. The enthusiasts can also direct you to good suppliers which is always useful

Is it not possible to ‘adjust’ headlights for right or left on a 2017 vehicle?

Not that I am aware of. I did it on my Hymer A class but I don’t think that it is possible on the low profiles.

This is a reply I got from Hella, perhaps the same units are still used.

Thank you for your enquiry.

These lamps are relatively simple to convert from UK dip to continental
dip. You will need to remove the dip beam light units from the vehicle.
If you have a four headlamp system this will be the outer light unit on
each side.

On the back of each lamp you will see three screws. Two in slotted
holes and one in a circular hole with an unused hole next to it.
Undo the two screws in the slotted holes slightly and remove screw from
the circular hole fully.
Now twist the light unit so the screws in the slotted holes are at the
other end of each slot and the unused circular hole now lines up to the
hole in the front body of the light.
Replace and tighten all three screws removed.

To convert it back to UK dip reverse the process.

Hope this helps.

On Rapido's there is generally enough room to do the adjustment while the lamps are in place, a stubby

Thanks for that. I am not sure what make my lights are as I cannot find a maker‘s name on them. I suspect that they are an Italian company though. I will check as the lights are very easy to remove. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
Best wishes.

I have a set from a 2008 X250, not sure if they are the same. Would be interested in a swop.

Thanks for that but I am sure they are not a match.

They are not the same, a quick search on ebay and the prices for your 2017 are eye watering
