Check the connection. Make sure you twisted the bulbs, until they lock in. There's around 4 members in my town that have these bulbs (myself included) and all are running fantastic. Many have had their bulbs for almost a year, too. If it is the bulb, they should still be under warranty, so you should be able to get a new one for free.

I'd get a set of new bulbs. Sounds like they're faulty. They're only $15. Tell the company you ordered them from that they went dead and you want a new set, since they're under their 1 year warranty.
