I did the same.
Like I said it was working perfectly before the short circuit happen.
So, I think it may damage the diode or something else, but what?
So was your first photo taken before with first board and your basing how bright the second one is by looking at that old photo?
Scratch that last comment. After looking back at your photo I see the door lock LEDs are very dim. I was looking at the rear defog LEDs and was wondering what was the problem.
You must have a voltage issue. You can test the diode by replacing it with another diode temperately. Use one of the dome light diodes. But you still have a problem if removing fuse 10 does not turn the light off. Also maybe your door lock ECU got hit with that short circuit. Also check the inertia switch is not tripped.

I did not change anything in my wiring on all my photos.
Defrost light is OK, only light doors is weak.
So, I guess there is a current in the other wire, and lock doors isn't working, that's why I don't see any difference when I remove it or not.
I'll try to check another diode or order a new one.
The car start, so the inertia switch must be correct and the door lock module still operating doors.
Fingers crossed for a faulty diode...
Thanks again for your help!

I ordered a new diode from DeLorean Go
I will see if I'm lucky and if it's the faulty one

David, your new led board is working perfectly.
The short circuit destroy the diode that’s why the lock doors led wasn’t working properly
Now it’s all protected against another short circuit and the board isn’t moving
Thanks again David for replacing the faulty board
