Glad your new bulbs are better.
The main problem with these headlights is the silvering on the reflectors turns matt beige and tarnished after a few years reducing light output and making them slightly yellower. The only solution on 2005 facelift >on models is new headlights or cut the housings open and replace with an aftermarket clone projector such as EVO-R 2.0 and then seal the light back up (or of course new light assembly but the same would probably happen again).
Before 2005 (split grille) the projector has no swivel function can be unscrewed and withdrawn from behind without cutting the light open.
