Midlife Crisis

I have been searching the forum for an answer to this but have just managed to get more confused so apologies that I have had to start a new thread even though this subject has been discussed before
Maybe it is old age creeping up, but these days I find driving in the dark particularly stressful and am wondering if I can change the bulbs in the 500c to something which will give better visibility as at the moment I just feel uncomfortable that I cannot always see ahead properly. When the lights are on full beam things are OK but with the dipped lights I do find it a struggle at times.
I see that Osram and Phillips bulbs have been discussed but which ones would I need to get just for the dipped beam? Am not bothered about the DRL's or full beam. Also, I assume the dealer is not worth approaching and best thing is to buy bulbs and either fit myself or ask friend who is a mechanic?
In same way, would I also be able to change the bulbs in my old W124 E class Merc? The existing ones are really crap and sometimes wonder if I have forgotten to put them on
Thanks so much if you can help as really getting pretty stressed about going out in dark at moment (no streetlights really near me and the motorway is a nightmare) and would be great to find a solution. Am already feeling like an old wreck having to admit I have a problem
