having driven with a set, i can tell you this. If you drive at al in rain or fog, you will be BEGGING for a set of yellow fogs. that blue light jumps right back into your eyes and has a very high reflection rate, and very little if any contrast to road surfaces.

During dry weather, they are AWESOME, but the wet weather performance leaves me wanting for a warmer light frequency.

Yeah, +1 to what jayd4wg. I almost never use my brights in dry weather, but in wet weather, that's another story.

Yeah, overall they are great! As far as winter, I can't exactly remember back then but I know I had no problems with them at all. I never really checked out the distance either, but for me it is good enough that I can fly down back roads at night. If you want the best lighting you can have, then I suggest doing a retrofit. It's a bit more expensive, but the difference is amazing.
