Check that you are getting 12 volts at the switch (one side should be 12 volts regardless of ignition key position) and work your way back (or forwards if you get no voltage at the switch).

Did you replace them with twin filament bulbs?

Lesson learnt...

Always check the fuses first!

Ah yes, but the real question is why did the fuses blow?
