It doesn't bother me much but it is quite different from wife's.
I found a couple significant differences between the 11 and 12; most significant: I can't play music from my phone! What the fuk.

Perhaps someone changed the bulbs in yours to LED. I did the same for the "white" color spectrum look before eventually resorting to surgery, but the brighter high beam and dimmer low beam remained. When I opened the headlights to retrofit some aftermarket LED rings I saw why that was. The bulbs for the halos sit right behind the high beam rings. So the light has to travel further to illuminate the low beam rings. It's an old design that they eventually improved upon, as seen on your wife's later LCI.
