Pop up headlights may not return because of pedestrian collision safety standards, but they were at best a styling affectation and at worst an attempt to meet headlight height requirements.
The "Bug eye (or Frog eye, depending upon which side of the Atlantic you hail ) Sprite was intended to have pop ups, but it was deemed too costly.
I was glad to see them disappear. I have considered surgery to the front of my '90 Miata almost every time I have to drive after dark. An Italia kit would improve the front end immensely.
I have even considered the headlights from the first generation Sunfire. Now THAT's desperation!
