Default HID wont turn on, Need some advice

I just got done putting everything in, I have good power and ground, driving lights work fine but when I turn on my headlights I get nothing. I pulled apart the relay and it looks OK? but seems like it doesn't want to work right...do you think it could be a faulty relay?

i received an HID kit and the power and ground wires were switched on both of the harnesses that connected the factory harness to the bulbs. so try checking that out.
