These are pretty old ballasts. If the ballasts are good they don't appear to be getting power (or enough power). As everyone is mentioning it could be polarity of the voltage to the ballast or the connectors aren't seated.

Look at your ballast and it may show which side of the connection is positive and try to confirm that your connector is wired the same. Purple, blue (I think), red all could be positive on your civic. Maybe even green. Black is typically your negative connection.

If you are entirely stumped some closeup photos of your install may help showing connections or at least make the thread a bit more interesting.
