Two likely possibilities have contributed to your failures:

1) the wiring on the LEDs for the ballasts have interfered with the adaptive motors and blocked/burned them out.

2) the extra wiring got in the way of the headlight rear seal when you reinstalled and water got in, damaging the system. However this is less likely as you would surely had other signs of water infiltration.

Lux was a big sell on this chassis when it was new and while I never gave them my business,I had LED angel bulbs at one time, had this exact problem, promptly uninstalled once I realized the problem was the LED assembly itself. Installed PIAA H8 bulbs, cranked the voltage, and never looked back.

Cheers
