square (and later, circular)

Are the circular DOT headlights actually a newer regulation than the rectangular ones? I would've guessed that circular ones came first, if anything, considering the sorts of lights on VW Beetles and other cars designed in the 1930s and earlier.

I could have it the other way 'round. I wasn't paying close attention at the time.

Edit: Actually, you are right. The rectangular ones were permitted in 1974, so I did have that backwards. Corrected!
