Note the 'British Made' frame around the defective LEDs. That means it's
made by LUCAS electronics, famous for making things that are the
antithesis of Quality.

This LED is probably split because they wanted to double Corporate
profits without actually doubling production. The engineering team
thought the 'single lead' LED would be a real sales success, due to
greatly reduced installation costs.

Whoever 'split' that misfortunate LED most likely applied AC mains
voltage to the leads . Seen it before . Even WITH a 1K resistor .
