If they are LED, they are sealed. Chances are you need a whole headlight.

How many lenses does your headlight have? If 1 - HID, if 2 - LED. You can change the control unit in the headlight if you are sure that it was he who broke.I changed the control unit in my headlight on the weekend, if the main beam breaks down, it will turn out to be changed without removing the headlight, if the near one (like mine) needs to remove the bumper

If you have HID, then maybe your lamp just broke and you don't need to buy a control module. It's easy to check, remove the lamp from the working headlight and put it in a non-working one, if the headlight works - just buy a lamp, if not you need a HID control unit. (I have LED headlights, I changed the LED control unit)

If I may ask, how did you change the led module? you can pm me so we don't use anymore space on this post.
Much appreciated.
