Yep. You could literally walk into any parts store and find a headlight housing for your car for super cheap. Hell, it wasn't even a housing. The bulb was sealed inside. It was a whole headlight assembly, IIRC.
They're now all very specific to the car and crazy expensive, especially the LED ones.
Back when headlights only came in "rectangle" or "round" and they all cost $9.95 each.
