Sorry for that.
To bring us back full-circle: If I understand correctly, the problem with the headlights that look just like these and are sold on Ebay doesn't have to do with the LED's themselves, but rather with the construction of the housing, right? I think I read that they leak, yellow prematurely, are prone to warping in the heat, etc?
These sure look awfully similar to those.

Evything you said, and they use low quality 5mm LEDs that burn out prematurely (partly due to the quality, partly due to the fact that they are on load resistors instead of a dedicated and regulated power supply).
