since the bulb is new, it seems like there's in issue with the bulb or with the way you reconnected everything. im not an electrical expert, just giving my opinion

connector between stock light harness and ballast is bad lose or corroded.

BTW, if it doesnt start, have an adult who may be supervising step on the kickstart for you ...especially when its a cold start.

I ,on the contrary , DO feel like being a smart@ss right now.
