Infiniti turn signals in bumber

Why did they put the Infiniti rear turn signals in the bumper, a foot or so below the brake lights? I was behind a driver in a EX35 who cut in front of me and I was focusing on the brake light area.

Bad design, in my opinion.

Op should read “Bumper”.

 For the same silly reason they don't have sealed beam headlights any more.  The boys in the design department won over the engineers again.
