x2 on the Drake reflectors with halogen bulb and stock lenses. I have the Drake setup on my '38 Ford pickup. Unlike the originals, they never need to be polished or replated. The ones on my truck have been on it close to 30 years, still as bright as the day I took them out of the box.
Having had a 37 with the reflector/ halogen bulb set up I can say I was never really satisfied with my ability to see the road clearly. The stock lenses are part of the “look” of a 37 and I was not going to give in and install those clear replacement aftermarket no soul lenses even though there was as much light in the trees as on the road surface with the stock fluted lenses. After some shimming of the reflector there was some improvement but no where near in the 100% comfort zone I have driving my 40 now.
