pop up headlights no more?

Yes, I've noticed the 360 Modena styling as well on the Corvette. Projector lights are the "in" thing for the moment. Pop-up lights had a good run, late 1960's through the 1990's.

 

Pop up headlamps were killed by "daytime running lights" -- the '90s regulatory demands that headlamps turn themselves on.

Pop-up lights were an aero compromise with maintainability. Headlamps under glass, like the series I E-types, were a pain to service or even keep clean. Lights that stick up disrupt aerodynamics. Pop-up lights only disrupt aero at night when you're (theoretically) not driving as fast.

Daytime running lights caused some Japanese manufacturers to break from the traditional sealed beams, for service-from-behind modular headlights. That opened the floodgates for all the stylists to ad-lib with forward lighting.

Then there's the Microsoft effect: "we don't follow standards, we make our own".

The one-size-fits-all sealed beam is dead. And with it, the supply of do-it-yourself aftermarket lights at the auto parts stores. But then, today's cars themselves don't have much more of a life expectancy than the headlamp bulbs, anyway.
