Why are they on the side of the car? When did this happen? Is it homologation related?

Simple aerodynamics really. The need to have X many lights visible at the front cross section without it being brick shaped. Much of a meh ness really as they all start looking the same to me now!
You say "simple", like either you or I even grasp the basics...

Bring back separate front indicators that you can actually see as well
Hear, hear! I'm sick of being stuck at roundabouts because I literally cannot see some indicators until they are 3ft away from me. Dangerous.

Oh so many times this. I find the indicators on VWs to be particularly hard to see with the clear lens all in the same strcuture. Not that the fkers use them half the time anyway.

An example of doing it right:

Headlights on the front, amber indicators front and side... Swoon...

What?
Fitting clear lenses to the indicators [instead of the amber ones seen in the pic]
