It is a poor design and should only nip the seal not crush it.
I have the LED replacements but agree they do look a bit too bright.
When I replaced my cracked lenses I was sure not to over-tighten... just seat them properly. But your assessment is interesting as an old retired guy from a Ford assembly plant who installed interior assemblies was told in his training to "screw it in until you hear a crack and then back it off 1/4 turn". Don't know if that was also taught in Germany but if it was that would explain a great deal. ; )
