Bulkhead in Economy 77W with 14 hour flight

Just got my seats assigned for a RT in May JFK-AUH (14 hour flight). Yes this was the mistake fare flight I booked. Longest flight I've been on was 11 hours so we'll see how this long flight goes.

I asked for 2 seats together up in front and I got assigned 24B and 24C on the way there and 32H and 32J on the way back.

This is a 3 class configuration so to my understanding 32H and 32J are Bulkhead seats.

This will be my first time flying in Bulkhead so I wanted to get people's opinions especially if you've flown this configuration before.

I've read the pros and cons such as narrower seats + light from the galley. A few questions:

1. How much light are we talking about? 14 hours is a long flight if its super bright.

2. Is the extra leg room worth having a slighter narrower seat?

3. Is there overhead space? I know we can't store anything in front of us because there's a wall so this part is important.

4. Is there still a personal TV for each seat?

Any other suggestions? Not sure if I should keep them or switch them to a regular seat. I've heard EY charges $100 normally for Bulkhead so pretty nice they gave me them for no added cost.

Thank you for the help!
