This link explains the change:LINK
As to why they did this? it could be they wanted to try to save money, but then found that it was better to go back to the independant turn signals again? not sure!
As to concert the 2 light setup into the 3 light setup, the people who have been adding Altezzas to their sedans have discovered a way to do such, because the altezzas have the independant blinker, so they figured a way to wire this up. I'm not sure on what wiring changes u need, but It is probaly posted on FJ or CF or MFF.
