I run the white front when I'm coming back through town (too many distracted drivers cruising for parking spaces), at low light or in the rain. They're good for 8-10 hours on a charge.
I have the same cheap lights and they continue to work. I run the front all the time.
Have had the same experience as the OP. Left cross in front of me... or several times on 40 mph downhill... clear road.... no other cars except the one coming toward me.......and it decides to make a U-turn right in front of me! Either they don't look, or they can't tell how fast you are going, or they just don't give a shiit.
