Headlights blown? lol. Do you have power at the headlight connection? Sometimes they get cruddy and might need a cleaning.

Check relay? I'm not familiar with this upgrade, but someone else on here probably will be.

Wait, do you have the upgraded wiring harness too? Or just the lights? Them lights will overheat the harness if you don't upgrade that too.
