But the popups are “unsafe”. Because then you might hit a pedestrian. At night.

Was that the reason? I figured they faded away because they were an additional manufacturing and maintenance expense because of the moving parts.

Heck, they allowed for shallower hoods that seem to be safer for pedestrians when they are down!

The UNECE made it very difficult for pop-up headlights to comply with pedestrian safety regulations. But truth be told, pop-ups were also known to be unnecessarily complicated and prone to failure. The reason why they are no longer around is (as usual) a combination of multiple factors.
