Let's face it - cars (especially Japanese ones) in the 80s were boxes, there was very little style involved. So again, I ask why the car makers intentionally added complexity and cost in making the car, when they could have avoided it?

I seem to remember reading in the ADRs something about the front indicators being required to be part of the headlight assembly.... or words to those effect !??
I'd have to double check... but perhaps, if this is the case, it was adopted from other legislation overseas... and if so, under the guise of road safety, no less
