Why no popup headlights anymore?

ugly/out of style
less reliable than fixed headlights
worse for aerodynamics
heavy

100% unpractical waste of money for companies

>>16317037

>>16317002
they only exist to get around head lamp height laws

>>16317037
Doesn't matter, these things were taking off limbs, gotta think about pedestrian safety

Good, people will learn to pay attention to what they are doing.

>>16317067
Lel, do you see any cars being made with pop-ups? Oh, that's right

>>16317066
yes

how would a big airbrake jutting up on the front of the car cause any problems

If you are close enough to get hit by the headlight you are close enough to get hit by the rest of the car.

Most pop ups are above and a few inches behind the front bumper. If a car hits you going say 30 mph, the front bumper will hit your legs first, causing your legs to move from where they were on the ground, causing the rest of your body to fall, think of what happens when you slip and on ice or something while youre walking, only instead it's a car hitting you. The rest of your body is going to get hit by anything above the bumper, aka you might get hit by a pop up headlight. A blunt sharp object isgoing to impale you at 30 mph, it's not going to simply leave a bruise

Is this real???

>>16319496
That's really cool. It would look better if the nose of the car were a little lowered/more tapered though since that's what pop ups are supposed to enable anyway.

FeelsGood

>out of fashion, no longer useful in the era of super high front ends being necessary period
>expensive to replace, massively more complex than just a light that turns on when given power
>square shapes are out of fashion and nobody's out there looking for 928 headlights on modern cars
>takes up space that fwd shitboxes are trying to use on making their car's engine bay even smaller
i think that covers most of it
