Could be the new unit is faulty, there is one diode inside it that controls the excitation circuit.

What reading did you get from your meter?

Alternativeley it could be a wiring fault in the car and the current is flowing backwards through the light

Does it go out with engine turned off?

I'd be tempted to have a drive over to the place you bought it and show them.
