The reason it isn't working for you is more to do with your position within a timezone, rather than your latitude. If your noon is true noon, then shifting the clock forwards will balance the daylight hours towards the afternoon and away from the morning. If your noon is badly skewed from a wide timezone, then you'll get the problems you describe (too much light in the morning). Your problem is longitudinal, not latitudinal.
