So, running it in the store for weeks probably
killed the weak LEDs.


unlikely

Before you replace any LED's,
You need to get a better look at the way it's wired
and determine if there's an internal ohmsistor or current limiter.
Replacing one of those with an ordinary LED is going to produce a very
bright flash before the fuse blows.


Quicker to just replace & see if they work. If the new LEDs light and the old don't, then different limited LEDs needed.
