Just speculation, but the way the pop-out part is cut, it refracts light. Since the sidemarkers are also turn signals on the JDM model (per ayau's information) I assume that this refraction (causing the lens itself to glow) allows the light to be seen from all angles when signaling. Our sidemarkes are only designed to provide visibility of the car and show direction of travel when viewed from the side.
