Default problems installing my HIDs

so i tried installing my HIDs that i bought from stangmods. followed the instructions and they didn't work. took everything apart and then reinstalled them. STILL didn't work. I am so confused now. My stock lights work fine but when i try with the HIDs it doesn't work at all. What could be wrong? i apologize for not being very specific, but there isn't really much else to say.

you should test the voltage at each plug. maybe you plugged the oem ternminals in backwards to the ballast? seems weird both of them don't work

I just installed the 9000k kit on my 88, first off you shouldnt even have your stock lights hooked up, the HID lights replace stock lighting, so make sure your only using the new harness in the bulbs and connect the stock harness on the drivers side to the plug. If you need them ill post pictures of mine.
