Okay, I've done the swap - completely error free. I'm using standard, yellowish bulbs on the DRLs, so haven't tried fitting LEDs there yet. But I'm happy with the result as it is. Now that everything is fully functional, I can take my time researching bulb upgrades. 

Conclusion: If anyone has a faulty factory LED unit - you can downgrade to headlights with regular DRL bulbs. In my case, I found a pair of used ones for a bargain and they were both newer and with less wear and tear than my original ones. Also, cheap replacements.
