The resistor don't need to hang off for it to cause an issue.
It could just not be making a solid connection.
A quick resolder fixes it or it has fixed it in the past for me.

Really cheap LEDs are not worth the risk but I would not want to spend over the odds on LEDs. There are some stupidly expensive ones out there.

Fog lights are fog lights, they are not driving lights, looking cool lights, driving round town in your car lights or rain lights.
They are designed and built for us in foggy conditions.
I can't see what benefits they have for anyone who drives with them on during the day or during dry fogless conditions.
Its a massive bugbear of mine but its something I need to ignore I think as it appears that manufactures have started using them for turning lights and DRLs.

Why DRLs? was sidelights never enough?
