Yes I did thanks, but I don't fancy modifying the bulb cover, which I assume is the cap that screws onto the back of the housing and seals it.

Thanks for the link. I might be safer going for one of those halogen bulbs that claims 20% - 50% extra brightness.

As winter approaches and daylight time shortens, my commuting time is in the dark and I always feel that standard bulbs are not very bright. Has anyone upgraded their dipped beam bulbs to a brighter bulb or converted to LED bulbs? I have a Niro 3.

Another poster, Greenman, listed an ECU update and another couple. I showed the dealer when I took my car along for the recall. The dealer said they updated the software.

Got recall letter and also asked garage to check software versions. They replaced clutch actuator and did the software upgrades and throttle and clutch are far better and the car drives more smoothly. A vast improvement. However still not as good as my previous Lexus IS300h.

I have a 3 with 18" wheels and not had a problem so far. The pronounced ridge is to protect the alloy wheels when you clip a kerb.
