Did you also get the ballasts with the fixtures?
It would also be helpful to know the model number.

I actually don't know what you need to get them to work, I was just guessing that those 6-pin connectors were meant to plug into something other than the wall.
You might need to check the entire fixture to see if the model number is located somewhere. If you still can't find one, I recommend measuring the fixture for the length, width & height and contacting Hamilton directly. Give them as much information as you possibly can about the fixture.
I also don't think those are incandescent bulbs, they look like flourescent T8 or maybe T5 bulbs.
