You probably have the wrong bulb type.
Do you know what style bulb your headlight takes?

no i dont know how to figure that out? I just went on ebay and order HID xentec and they email me back and say what kind of car i got. i told them 98 gs eclipse and they got it for me. So once i got it, I have no idea how to install it.

If your headlights dont have the lens in them, you shouldn't be running HID's

Well its pretty easy I do a lot of installations around here in michigan. Easiest way to explain is to.
1. Replace old bulb with hid.
2. Run wires that use to plug into bulb into your hid ballast.
3. Then plug the wires that are apart of your ballast into your bulb.
Pretty simple actually. But if they don't turn on the switch the plug that goes from the car to the ballast. Just flip it around amd then try it. But you cant mess up the ballast to bulb wiring they only go one way. If you continue to have probs message me and ill walk you thru it.

well since you didnt tell them you had aftermarket headlights, they probably gave you the kit to fit the stock ones.
Im willing to bet your aftermarket headlights are an H1 type, whereas the factory headlights are a 9006 type.
Im also willing to bet your new HIDs are a 9006 application.

You most likely need an h3 kit

Take the bulb out of your housing you have now and see what the bulb says it tells you right on it.

Take the bulb out of the aftermarket headlamp. Check the size and return the other one and have them send you the correct one.
