Since I the polarity doesn't matter for halogen bulbs, I would try to flip the connectors from the light harness around. The ballasts are polarity dependent.

I have had to do this numerous times on Hondas.

same thing happened to me ,, jam the light connectors into the ballast the wrong way and it should work ,, u are right ,, they only clip on one way but if u jamm it hard enough it should stay on ,, just tape it or send the hids back and try other one ,, but this worked for me and they never came of or nothin

You can pull the connectors out of the plug with a needle nose, or flathead and flip them around. That way you actually have a plug that clips in.

That's what I did.

If u go them from eBay and paid about 60-70 bucks for it u may have gotten a faulty kit. Notify your seller for a replacement. That's what happend to me. The installation is pretty easy, just plug and play, so chances are u did it the right way. Also, if u do get a replacement or they decide to turn on check if your bulbs are flickering. If they are I would send them back for that also.

what would happen if you dont have a ballast with HIDs?

then you couldn't use them.

if your sure you have them hooked up right try this..

the part that plugs into your stock housing.. flip it over and plug it in upside down. it will seem to not go in but i assure you it will.

if you bought a cheap ebay kit (i did) then this happens at times.

According to what the info on my 'hids' are.. they are gas xenon hids. i plugged them in and they work not as bright as hids but there brighter than the lights a i had (still a white light)

weird

Make sure you pressed them in until you hear a clicking sound on the connectors, FYI if u tried reverse polarity make sure you check your fuses, DDM Tuning worked fine
