Default HID headlights not working?

Hey guys i bought HID lights for my 99 v6 camaro and when I contacted them today they didn't work even the amp for them didn't work because i didn't hear any buzzing, I've made sure that they work propoerly because i contacted them to my Friend's car and they worked perfectly fine. Please Help?!

So when im driving they very often turn off on side or the other. When i flash my far lights and then turn the long light off they work as normal what might be causing that to happen?

Are they in fact true HID including a ballast or are they those funny blueish lights?
