Did you touch the bulbs? Have the correct fuze size in there? Not ground out right? Theres many dif reasons. Could have been bad bulbs.

I had this happen on my drivers side headlight, what happened to mine was the wire was partially exposed. So i put electrical tape on the exposed wire and It works fine now. But id run with what 1LowSol said.

trips customs sales those replacements for $35 shipped /pair.
but seriously, make sure you clean the glass with alcohol good and wipe it dry before you put them in. oils from your fingers can cause hot spots on the glass and cause them to go bad, same with halogens.
