MODERATORS
Car designers also mostly used them since they were forced by regulation to use circular or rectangular lights of a standard size (think of all those 80s cars that look similar in the front). Pop up headlights allowed them to hide them and create cars that looked much different from the rest. I think there is a video from technology connections on the matter.
Edit: I think it is briefly mentioned on this video, although it’s been a while since I watched it: https://youtu.be/c2J91UG6Fn8
I'd ENTHUSIASTICALLY return to the days of uniform, regulated headlights at a reasonable luminosity.
