...remember a time when car designers couldn't use aero-conformal headlights because of round/rectangular seal-beam lamp requirements.

I think that arguement against the round sealed-beams is largely bogus. Take most of the front-ends of vehicles with so-called aero lighting and if you wanted to, you could fit the round sealed beams in.
I for one am sad the round sealed beams went away. They didn't fog, haze, or yellow. They cost $5 to replace (why do dinky headlight bulbs cost more than an entire sealed beam assembly?) and they were easy to replace- no tearing the entire front fascia off to get at them. They put out a nice beam. And they were practically a universal fit. You could buy them at virtually any store in America.
