There are some, but they aren't cheap. Testing is expensive, and passing requires the use of more expensive wide angle LED components. Most LEDs are of the narrow viewing angle variety.
The cheap ones are also less likely to have current control, soft start and bypass diodes as well, all of which contribute to long lifespans. I've built a few turn signal assemblies, but they are "ugly huge things" because I like my signals being seen and I love 80s bike styling.
