Default HID problem

so i bought an HID 10,000K kit for my 95 Chevy S10 off ebay (i know, big mistake) so i got them last week and im just starting to get them hooked up and i got a problem. now the plug that is on the ballast that goes into the original headlight socket is like a regular XJ plug, but i guess chevy was stupid and made theirs with one of the prongs going at a 45 degree angle instead of straight up and down. after switching the plug on the truck i plug in my HID into it and i got nothing, try them on the jeep and they work fine. i went and checked my power and grounds on the S10 and everything is fine, but it still wont light up. any advice??
