Hi
Has anyone else found the F Type headlights a little underwhelming?
The ones that were on the XK-RS that I had previously were a load better......or are my eyes getting worse!

I can see on a number of US websites that upgraded bulbs are available. Does anyone have any ideas, thoughts, comments, experiences?

Thanks

I would consider it as a safety measure : if you can not see where you are going, go slower... :mrgreen:

But I know form the F-Pace forum there are some alternative Xenon bulps. I never tried as my FT has LED.

Upgrade to OSRAM Xenarc's make a world of difference. Depending on the type you get, they whiter (higher temp) models then match the DRL's in colour temp.
Up one notch on the vertical aim of both headlights.

@Tel.
I might get these on my F-Pace as it does have Xenon.

Could you please specify the type with the proper colour [ you still have the box maybe?].

Thanks !
