Personally, I hate driving at night so I use ultra bright xenon H4 bulbs to
make sure I can see. I got them in a period yellow/white colour rather than
the more usual blueish tint, but they provide stacks of light and only draw
55W. Short of full on HIDs, they were the best I found.
Real period lights bring me to a complete standstill in the rain at night.
It's a pretty subjective topic to touch on :)
