With the problems you are having, something tells me the faulty fitting issue(s) those have is with the back connector. Somehow the headlight's male pins don't align with the female pins properly. I have a feeling.

You know you can clearly see the headlight & fender connectors when you pull the plastic wheel well a bit (loosen two plastic clips on the wheel well and pull gently). Would worth a try to see if this all align properly. If not then just align it with one hand and ask a friend to push the headlight in for you.

Hope this helps a bit
