Actually that caused me to scrounge for a photo of what I think you may be referring to. To my earlier observation about heat shrink length:
The heat shrink AT THE LEDs in this harness is much shorter (about 1/2") than the 4-LED version under discussion. This suggests there is NO resistor on this 2-LED version. OTOH, the heat shrink length AT THE 2-pin CONNECTOR is much larger...suggesting something is "going on" underneath! I believe this is where your series connection is made. On the 4-LED version there is no such heat shrink at the connector and you see the red and black wires going right thru.
