Being used to the daily 'Driver' of the 1940's & '50's, that had them, I struck a fondness for them, both for the nostalgic 1940's look and for their definite lighting improvement. I changed the stock headlites on my 1930 Coupe to the inserted (adapter) and 6 volt Sealed Beamed lights. I was very happy with them and drove with them daily for the thirty years that I had the car. New technology came along during that time, but I liked the 1950's vintage look and has happy with the seal-beam performance. I never had any issues of battery drainage. "If it ain't broke - don't fix it".

That being said, for my other daily driver, my '28 Phaeton, I stayed strickly stock, polishing up the original silver reflectors, and had acceptable lighting. If I were to ever get dissatisfied, I would most definitely buy a pair of Bratton's new reflectors. A pit pricey, but well worth the money if you do much night-time driving.
