OK, this is a guess, if the new lights are brighter then the old lights, you may have enough light to cause the light sensor to trigger off. Try this, cover the sensor with black tape, and see if the lights still cycle, if so, I have no idea what is going on. If they do not cycle, then see if some of the light (from the new bulbs) is reflected into the sensor. Try a small piece of black tape over the sensor to limit reflected light, or replacing the sensor??

Hope this helps.
