Until met with last night's blizzard on the way home from work in the early hours when they were pretty hopeless, not enough heat emanating out to melt the heavy snow and too much light fragmentation at the top of the lense causing the snow blindness....It would have been advantageous to have the halogens at that moment in time.
Thanks to Percy Shaw and his cats eyes I was able to place the wheels on them as a physical/audible means of continuing....

....but other than that, I agree that they are mighty fine. If I ever need to remind myself how good they are I get in Mrs Ruby's Mini Paceman and switch on the headcandles
