Those tail-lights came on Lexus's and Toyota Altezza (Lexus to every other country) models... they're not stock on anything else I can think of, and according to 90% of the world, they're retarded on any vehicle they didn't come on stock.
That's not a "trend" perse... at least not w/ auto manufacturers.
The headlight thing comes from the testing that found that small focused lenses are better for distance than broadly lit huge chunks of glass or plastic. The "cover" lens is just an aerodynamic integrated cover panel, which admittedly, is only there for looks, but could easily be paint matched to be less notable. Refer to 1994+ 3000GT (Mitsubishi GTO).
