Improving lighting on BMW RT1200 LC 2015

Hello,
I'd like to replace the original BMW headlight bulbs by LED or Xenon bulbs.
I have seen information on GS but nothing on RT.
I already have 2 BMW additional LED headlights on the side but I find the original lightin yellowish in comparison.
Thanks
Jean (from France)

Re: The road to recovery...

Hi, got my right hip replaced at 61. I stayed off the bike for 4 months before jumping back on it.
I do  5 000 Kil on my bicycle, 3 weeks of skiing in the Alps and 10 000 Kil on my RT every year.
Be serious for the rehab and it will work fine
