Those are the more advanced LEDs. The reason why we're so used to seeing so many small bulbs is because LEDs weren't bright enough and therefore we needed a cluster of them to make up a set of lights.

These new ones as you can see are sufficiently large and bright enough without requiring 20 bulbs (like you see on a rear spoiler for exmaple). That's why.
