    Verify you are not installing 180 degrees out.
    Look at the contacts and see if they are bent/burnt. You should have 2 contacts on one side, and 1 contact on the other side of the track.
    Try a continuity test to be sure the problem is not within the fixture, also check bulb contacts.

    I am not sure what you mean by installing 180 degrees out. I will check out your other suggestions when I return home today. Thanks.
