Pop up headlights aren't allowed on modern roadcars nowadays, something about being dangerous to pedestrians?

Can't have been any earlier than 2002 as RX7s were still being produced til then.

edit: they're not 100% illegal, but regulations on protruding surfaces make it hard to engineer them into a design, all to do with pedestrian safety.

Wing mirrors will pop off or give way more than a nice sharp edged headlamp.

Exactly, cars should always have priority, even on pavements.
