Default Side Marker Lights and Subdued Flags

Todays 370z mod was to replace the "blank" side markers on the fenders with the actual LED illuminated turn signal versions. Here's my big question.... The base model 370z comes with the blanks (badge only, no LED). The blanks have an actual receptacle for the wiring harness plug and the harness is plugged in. The receptacle even has a black and a blue wire that go into the inside of the assembly but aren't connected to anything. Now my question is... why does the blank badge assembly cost $189 each (roughly) but the version that has the LED (which I consider to be an upgrade) only cost $30????? Am I missing something here??? I did really appreciate how Nissan used the same wiring harness though and actually made the plugs so easily accessible to me when I removed the blanks.

As far as the flags go... they are pretty small black and silver vinyl stickers. I know its a Japanese car, and I am proud to own it, but the flags are just something I put on all of my vehicles.
