most likely it isn't grounded right. it happened to my friends hatch as well. theres like a clip of connectors beside the headlight harness, along the fender. make sure that connected. if its not that, maybe its the harness itself.

most likely needs to be re-grounded like the other guy said. get a multimeter and test the lamps ground to it's 12v and see if it's 12v. if it's like 6v... then hookup the lead to the battery ground and test ur 12v. if it's 12v then it's a bad ground. if it's still 6v then you'll need to rewire that 12v source. and 6v is just a reference.. it could 11.0 for all i know.
