Saw a Merc today with a similar treatment. I do not enjoy them. But the VW ones are the worst.

I think it looks cool, I am very much into the "future" look of these cars. I am speaking from a European perspective. I know there are some differences in what / how lights can be used on cars in EU/US, so I can only speak for the former.
The thing about lights being blinding is true here as well though, but that has nothing to so with these strips, it's purely the headlights.
I'm geographically European as well. But, hey, different people like different things and that's ok. The VW is the worst offended in my mind, that red glowing logo just looks like cheap plastic to me.
