Headlight projector not working

Purchased some aftermarket headlights upon completion of installation I stepped back to enjoy the fruits of my labor and there was no light. After hours of fooling with it I decided to turn to the forum for help. The turn signals work just fine but no main light. I replaced the bulbs thinking that was the issue but still no light. Please help thanks in advance.

Are they HID headlights? If so, could possibly be a bad ballast which would ignite the headlight bulb

Those look like Spyder headlights with the BRZ OEM HIDs, which is obvious from the round, silver-looking cap and ballasts. It is hard to tell, but there is normally a silver ballast box on the side of the headlights that operate the DRLs, which seems to be missing. The following are some pictures of a D4S HID kit and the Spyder headlights:
