1) If you can see (and properly identify) your target, you can see the outline of your sights.

By the time they're effective, I can't see shit beyond that front sight. If I light it up with a weapons light, which is a better method of fighting at night, the front sight loses its "glow".
IMHO, they're pretty much useless.

What about using a weapons light? That always seems to make seeing my sights even harder. (I don;t have the night sights)

I have no problem. If the target is illuminated by my light, I can see the silhouette of my sights very clearly....but not the glow of the night sights. So, in that situation they are inneffective.
When my target is in the dark, if its dark enough to be able to clearly see the glow of the sights, I can't see the target well enough anyway. Inneffective in that case.
The only place where they are effective, IMHO, is as Tomislav just said....if I'm in the dark, the target is lit up. But, that's not a common scenario and even in that scenario I can clearly see the outline of my sights and can still shoot.
I think alot of people rely on the dots to aim....I seldom do. I use the bracket of the sight's outline to aim and in any situation where I can make out the outline of my sights against a target (which is most cases), I can still shoot well.
YMMV.
