Have you checked the levelling sensors to make sure they are moving and not stuck or gunked up?
Was the replacement bulb new or used? Of course, they recommend replacing both bulbs together, at the same time but I've always felt that is mostly so you have bulbs of the same age (and same color light). Is the connector on the bulb definitely installed correctly and tight, with the little metal retaining clamp in place?
When I replaced bulbs on my '03 9-5 sedan because one had burned out, I got two new ones and kept the working old one in the car as a spare (and still carry it in my present 9-5 wagon). Having those light shields rotate to their down-most position when you are 3 hours from civilization is a real pain (you can guess how I know). All the more reason to perform the headlight mod so the halogens come on with the brights.
