Do those actually work? How widely are they deployed? Newer LED headlights seem particularly blinding to me as a driver on the other side.

Becoming common on most VAG cars for example, even Skoda (their budget-ish brand) - see the video here https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/press-kits/skoda-superb-....

I think they're pretty effective; they cut out the light beam exactly where the other car is. There might still be reflections from other surfaces though.

They work but not in the US, where they are illegal (the HW is capable of "anti-daze" but SW is locked out for the US cars).
