2007 BMW X-Challenge: LED Headlight Upgrade

[dukekaboom]

Okay, I know this is a long-shot as this forum doesn't seem to be all that active and this particular model was a unicorn sold by BMW for just three years in the US and in very limited numbers. I'm looking to upgrade the headlight on this bike to an LED for improved lighting and lower power consumption (given the 280W output alternator) but don't want the instrumentation to light up like a Christmas tree after the conversion. Are any of you folks familiar with an LED upgrade kit for this bike and what needs to be done to ensure I don't have the aforementioned instrumentation issues? Thanks in advance.

I've been very happy with all of the Cyclops lights that I've put in various bikes - including my GS's. No errors, long life, and decent cutoffs.

Does the XChallenge use an H4 bulb?

According to the Max BMW parts fiche, it does.
