Packard had competent engineers and all contemporary car makers wired their cars just as Packard did. I have never read or heard of a problem with this setup and I doubt there is one. If a tag or other light has a short, which is very unlikely, the circuit breaker opens up temporarily, then closes putting the headlights back on. It was engineered that way for safety.

Surely you can put a fuse or circuit breaker on each individual light but why??
