There is a plug that you install on the ballast. If it is backwards, then the light will not turn on. I would try and turn them around, and see if the lights come on then. I have HIDs, and on none of my vehicles have I had to mess with fuses. They draw less power than regular bulbs, so I don't see why you would have to.

Every kit I have had came with three pieces per headlight. A plug that goes from the stock socket to the ballast, the ballast, and the bulb. The piece from the stock plug to the ballast has always been "pill" (flat on the sides, rounded at the ends) shaped on the ballast end. It could be plugged it backwards. I agree that the rest is easy to figure out. If I get time after work, I will take a pic of what I am talking about.
