Icon4 Replacement Headlamp Bulbs

Has anyone had any experience replacing OEM Headlamp bulbs with something brighter and whiter? Just got my brand new 2017 Wild Trak here in Scotland and the headlights are a disappointment. Old style yellow lamps that really don't do much for you when you're used to BMW headlamps. Also the headlight adjustment feature on the switch seems to be useless.

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, the Wild Trak isn't offered in the North American market yet. I would venture to say that the only Wild Trak any of us have seen are in pictures on the Internet. :)

Same Truck

I would dare to say that it is the same body and front end as the the Limited. More generally, has anyone swopped the OEM headlight bulbs for same size and fit Xenon bulbs?

Do you have a bulb type for the stock bulbs? You may get more helpful responses with that information. Most users here are in the US and we don't (yet) have the version of the Ranger available to you in Scotland.

Yes, I do. I haven't taken them out and physically looked at them yet, but the manual says that it takes an H7 and an H15 for the high beams.

With just a bit of quick research, it appears that PowerBulbs located in the UK has some options for the H7.

As for the H15, I only found an OEM replacement.
