Has anyone repaired LUX v7 LED bulbs before?

Hi all, I was replacing the angel eye bulbs on my 2008 e90 335i with xenons and oem angel eyes because they seemed dim/out. To my surprise I find LUX v7 LED replacements instead of some generic Amazon LED like I was expecting. Unfortunately whoever installed these didn't really care much because the housing cover for the angel eyes were half off and dust/debris filled the housing and destroyed most of the actual LEDs on the boards.... has anyone successfully reflowed LEDs on these boards WITHOUT a flow station? If not no worries... it's just a shame to waste these expensive LEDs and replace them with some cheap Amazon stuff I ended up getting for the meantime. Thanks!!

If the LED's like this are damaged the they will need to be replaced with an entire new set. it is not possible to simply change the LED's on the board

Thanks! I'll be doing that as soon as I can cross the boarder with them. Canada to the States shipping from my location isn't an option because of how expensive it is, so I'll have them shipped from the States as soon as I can.
