Around here new cars have to have the lights on (but on a dimmer setting) whenever they're running. It's easier to see an oncoming car with lights on during the day when it's foggy or rainy. In conditions where lights don't improve the visibility of the road most people don't think to turn them on simply because it'll increase the visibility of their car to others.
So in places where lights are required to be always on, lights like these would only give a sleek look when the car is parked. Also aerodynamics are a consideration, and like you say they tend to break.
Just one of those fun little ideas that didn't work out for a number of reasons.
