If the fluid looks foamy or very light colored, it has air in it. Let the car sit for an hour or so. Turn the wheel from lock to lock WITHOUT the engine running with the front wheels off the ground. Do this 10 times or so then recheck the fluid level. Make sure the reservoir cap is on when doing this. Adjust the fluid level and repeat with the engine running this time. Also make sure the reservoir is mounted higher than the pump....not familiar with the kit you installed, but the reservoir must be the highest point in the system to be able to get the air out.
