Did you try swapping a working one with a non working one to see if its the bulb or if its the actual socket?

Check to make sure you re-installed the bulbs securely and the connections are good and tight. I made this mistake before. Nothing wrong with bulbs. Or like mentioned above, they may be bad. Sometimes just moving them by taking them out is enough to break the connection of the element in the bulb if they were weak to begin with.
