Maybe the old ones were about to go anyway.  Headlights' output degrades 
over time (gradually of course!) so that you probably didn't notice it.
Then, in one change... new lights and a vast improvement!  (This is one
of the reasons why you should replace headlights in pairs.  The other
is when one goes, the other is probably about to go.)
