Metros and Astros come with old-style sealed beam headlamps recessed in buckets. You can cover the bucket with a piece of polycarbonate for better aero.

I wonder if you could move the headlights to the "open" position, bolt them in place, remove all that heavy hardware and the motors, and build an aerodynamic shell out of fiberglass and polycarbonate that doesn't look awful.
