    So what's not right? The lamps, or the sockets?
    You cannot just change from bi-pin to single pin. The ballast is different.

    Single pins are for High Output (H.O.)fixtures, generally found in commercial applications. If you are thinking of changing ballasts, make sure they operate on your building's voltage

    HO fluorecents use bi-pin sockets. The two pins are encased in black phenolic on the lamp ends.
