Sounds like the headlight assembly(ies) are not installed correctly. Meaning, the wires aren't connected.

Also be sure that when you replace your low beam, you're replacing the right bulb! The low beams are on top, the high beams are on the bottom. I've heard of several people getting them backwards. The bulbs are not the same, at least if you have the Litronic headlights. (I believe the non-Lits are all H7 bulbs, but still, replacing a good bulb with a good bulb, and leaving the bad one results in no change)
