I have a set of the e-bay lights in my xB and they are much better than the Halogen. It does have a bit of flicker in one bulb for about 10 seconds after startup, but steadies out after that.
I have another e-bay set in my other car for the past 3 years with almost constant use (they are 3000k fogs, use as DRL) and they are still running strong. Had another set (5000k) in the wifes old van in her fogs and they were fine also for about a year before we sold it.

I spent a total of ~$93 on 3 sets that all work fine, what am I missing with the $120+ kit?

The diameter is small or it's loose? Did you remove the round rubber gromet?

Your problem is that the red rubber o-ring is not seated properly. It needs to be pressed further down, and spread out more. The o-ring is positioned in a way that isn't allowing you to get the bulb all the way in.
