I already had it replaced under warranty and don't want to deal with that again. Maybe I should just leave those with ugly stock bulbs.

I have Diode Dynamics LEDs in my dome, trunk, sidemarkers, doors, and above license plate. No issues with a fried BIU.
From what I've read and seen, plenty of people swap out the door LEDs without any harm done to the BIU, although some people have obviously had issues. Much of what I've read suggests that the issue is with installation, not the LED itself. It's been suggested that using something metal/conductive to remove or install a door courtesy light could be the culprit. I don't have the electrical know-how to comment on the validity of that theory, but I can tell you that I replaced my door courtesy with white LEDs, using just my bare hands, and had no issues with the BIU.
Best of luck.
