I thought they are supposed to fully light up straight away, they arent cracked are they?
i didn't drop or bashed them so maybe they got damaged in transit.
but the problem is the 4 pin plug was off when i opened the packageing so i found an old 4 pin plug and i put on the end the of wire. i did that because i just thought it was only that one thing that was wrong with it and i couldn't see the point sending it back just because the plug was off.
maybe ocuk won't accept it?
i don't understand why both tubes are only lighting up half way. i would understand if one lighted up more than the other.

It uses a converter to AC (I think . . ) If only one side is plugged in then you only get light in the first couple of inches. Try swopping the tubes around / replugging them. You have connected the plug to +12v and 0v havent you?
from the inverter it as a (4pin MolexDuo male+female passthru power connector) but that connector was broken off so i put a new one on, then i connected 12v a molex plug (like the one u put the hdd/Optical Drive to power them) into the 4pin MolexDuo male+female connector..

If I was you I would have sent it back then rather than bodged it. If it still looks legit to the naked eye, send it back and don't tell them.

ive just tryed it on another system and it works 
. so now im confused why it don't work on my main system. my psu powers everything fine, the 12v line is running at the right voltage and the watts im using at full load is about 400w so its well under 900w so i know it's not a psu fault. i can't see whats the problem.
on the another system i connect the unit to a molex without any other things on it, so does the unit need to be connected to a molex without any other things on it (i.e hdd, dvd drive)?
