I’ve tried several makes of updated bulbs, with little discernible improvement, and am coming close to saying enough is enough. I’m hating the idea of yet another winter of misery. Maybe you’ve shown me the solution.
I know exactly what you mean, my first few weeks of commuting with OEM lights after buying this car was a real challenge and I hated ever km of the trip. Going HID route is the only sensible solution but please make sure you do your homework ref DRL, WMM issue and take care of all precautions beforehand to avoid nasty surprises. With 2012 model you are lucky enough to have clear lenses in your projectors so you can try without modifying the lamps first and see the results.
