We've just bought a Magic Edition A Class and we're getting it ready for a 4 week trip around France in April. Does anyone know if the headlights can be manually adjusted for driving in Europe. I've heard that there may be a lever at in the back of the light housing which can be used to flatten the beam (UK near side) but don't want to fiddle about until I know for sure.
Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on the new van. Four weeks in France sounds like a good baptism for it.
Based on the X250, yes?
I don't have any personal experience of the X250, but this previous discussion suggests that people are using low tech stick methods of beam bending rather than levers.
Hopefully someone with first hand experience will be along shortly.
I don't know about your van but mine has the Hella headlights and it is recommended that you do NOT use stick on beam deflectors.
On mine there are a couple of screws to adjust at the back.
I have an explanatory diagram, (too large to post on here as an attachment), but if you'd like a copy I'll send it to your email address.

If the light units fitted are the Hella round type, this reply from Hella UK might be of help
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.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
