    Are you saying they didn't do this before you replaced them? If so, you will need to retrace everything that you touched under the hood when you did that.
    Tradition is the art of making the same mistake repeatedly, on purpose.

    I'd check the wiring and the bulb holders/harness to make sure it's all connected good.
