These are a great investment. It depends on which ones you get. The ones listed here require you to take off the tire. Some you can add to your existing valve. I would recommend the ones you posted as its more of a flush look. I'll be changing mine out with a new set of tires.

I use a bicycle pump and no need for 90 degree valve stem. I used to need them on a bike with closer spacing, but... If you use adapters, the centrifugal force exerted on them while riding can eventually crack and break the valve stems, so don't leave them on. I would screw them on to inflate, then take them off. The kind that require tire re-installation are probably ok, but will definitely need a rebalance and add weight.
 

Why can't left turners see us?

Yeap, had them a while now.  Technically, these are superior in dealing with forces than the rubber valve stems.  
 
Look at the back tire:
