Default 2021 Mazda3 hatchback bad lighting Help!

I just got a new 2021 Mazda3 hatchback w/AWD and can't deal with the poor lighting for night driving. It's my first Mazda and I've never had this experience with any other vehicle, ever. I live in a country area with dark roads and can barely see beyond a few feet in front of me with the brights on. In the winter it gets dark at 4:30 so this will be an even more serious problem. Has anyone figured out a fix for this? I've been told the bulbs can't be changed or fog lights added to this model.
I'm considering exchanging it for a CX-3 or CX-30 although I really didn't want an SUV. But I was told the lighting is much brighter and better with those. Can anyone verify that? I can't believe how hazardous this is and how hard it is to find any information on the issue. Of course no one at the dealership "has ever heard of such a thing" before. Please help!

I have a 21 M3 Sedan and the headlights are quite good (equal to or perhaps even better than my 2019 Chevy Traverse)

The sedan might have better lighting than the hatch. But unfortunately that doesn't help me at the moment since I already have the hatch.

I have the exact same car, and I don't see any problem with the headlights.
Have you checked with your local dealer, to see if it is something adjustable?
