Please re-type this message. It is quite garbled and a little difficult to follow well enough to help you with diagnosing your problem.

here's your answer:

The bulbs on the new kit are higher wattage than the stock sealed beam unit. Higher wattage means more drainage on your battery. Check to see if your alternator or battery is still okay. It is the same concept as installing a 2000w car stereo system in your car while using the stock battery. It will drain the battery!!
