Congratulations, you probably bypassed a safety feature. If they're in
parallel, if one burns out the other keeps going. In series, if one
goes they're both out, and the exit sign is no longer visible.
Also, they should be checked to see if they still work properly when the
power goes out and the battery system takes over.
The signs I am familiar with used a different set of bulbs for
battery operation, so they could be bad and you wouldn't know, without a
monthly test.
