First of all you need a 400 watt bulb.How are the wires hooked up?.It would be better if you would let somebody that knows what they are doin hook the light up befor you burn your house down.It`s not as simple hookin two wires up

have you plugged it in and left it plugged in for several minutes? These setups take several minutes to reach fullness.

the 250's will work just fine don't worry about a thing. im going to guess to bulbs are bad, but do check the wiring. see if it is a muliti wire ballast and your wired up the right way, as to powering up the ballast. the wires to the bulb you really can't go wrong, just 3 wires, one black, one white, and a green ground..my grounds to my sockets are not hooked up so if your ain't that doesn't matter they will still light bright..
