    Was gonna say they only work one way round but you aid you tried them the other way. Were you wigglin them about a lot taking them out? Might have moved the connectors so its not touching them anymore

    put your old ones back in mate and turn your lights on and see
    that way you can eliminate the fuse and other possibilities
