For those who missed it, this is the root canal of this issue:

I bought new aftermarkets and they lasted less time than the originals, really sad. These are incredibly cheaply made but were a direct replacement, so easy to install to get car inspected.
Looks like they aren't available at Amazon anymore:

But I didn't search hard since I'm not looking to get into this $700/pair fiasco again, but it saved the inspection day - but now a few years later and same issue. I'm probably going to rebuild them with Morimoto projectors and I still have the original housings and may rebuild those as well and sell them here.
It's curious that there isn't a solid market for replacement lights at a reasonable price that last what's left of the car's lives out there.
