Are you bulbs in the correct way? You know how the pins form a triangle? If you have the tip of the imaginary triangle pointing up, you have it on right. If you have the flat of the triangle point upwards, you have it in upside down.

I bought a car once and that was the problem with it. The previous owner installed bulbs upside down. Seems like a lot of people do this.

So check the wiring. If you want, tomorrow, I can look at the wire orientation.
