If you are getting power - then change the bulbs again and make sure you get the right bulb(9004), right wattage etc. It might also help to clean the contacts a bit...

FYI, using overpowered bulbs can burn up a harness. Local guy here put in too high wattage bulbs and fried his 2x alread. Went back to stock bulbs, never had an issue.
