Hmm that's weird, do you have the fogs and the headlights or just the headlights?

Did you put them in yourself? And if you did, did you use gloves?

If it's only a week in, email the seller.

It could be ballast problems, could be different temperature bulbs, could be a factory defect in either.

I'd double check all the connections, then email the seller.
