HID problems! help?

Recently picked up an 01 ZX-6R for cheap that seems to be a bit of a lemon.

Anyhow, it supposedly had an HID conversion done, but the headlights won't turn on at all. I currently have the fairings off so I could try to get a look at what was done, and this is what I've noticed;

-bulbs look brand new, so I doubt they're the culprit
-bulbs have 3 prongs in the back, which doesn't sound like HID's
-wiring also has 3 prong fitting, but the wiring may have been tampered with so I'm not sure if this is stock
-didn't find a ballast anywhere when I looked for one

So for anyone with HID experience, does it sound like I just need to install a ballast? Or would I just be better off finding OEM bulbs to put back in and saving myself the effort?

Any hid kit has to have a ballast to convert from Dc to ac power. Also if you have a meter probe the wires and make sure you are getting voltage.
