2012 C300 Driving Lights

I've had my 2012 C300 Sport 4Matic for about a month now and I'm very happy with it except for one thing - the low beams really kind of suck due to the sharp cutoff at short range. I'd like to add driving lights to extend low-beam visibility.

Has anyone done this and, if so, what lights did you use and where did you mount them? My car, of course, does not have the light package so there's no obvious housing location for driving/fog lights.

I'm wondering if your headlamps need aimed? I have a 2013 and think the factory lights are pretty good.

It's possible, I suppose, but the high beams are great. I'd hate to re-aim the lows and find out the highs are now illuminating the trees. I guess I'll have to play with it a bit unless someone with a 2012 or later (no Lighting Package) has seen the same thing and fixed it.
