Have you addressed them properly? Some pars have a separate dimmer channel which you need to raise to see ant light output...

If the bulb icon is greyed out in the toolbar click the small arrow that is on the right hand side of FS when your par is selected, you should see some sliders if one says dimmer raise it to 255 then pick a colour and see what the light does if no dimmer labelled slider raise each slider from top to bottom to half way if you raise one that makes the light brighter or dimmer but not changing any particular led brighter/darker that is your dimmer slider!

I just pulled up the manual
http://www.llu.no/brukermanualer/Bruker ... 6-kort.pdf
That's a tricky little unit since it uses dip switches for the settings.
It shows you have to switch 8 off to enable DMX and 1-7 set the address. If that fixture is already in Freestyler it will show you the setting when you add it to FS Setup. It also notes that you have to switch the "slide switch" to Sound but I don't see in the manual where that is. You've got 5 channels so the 1st light must be address, the second 6 (5 channels up) the next 11 and so on. Select one in FS and go to the right side of the screen there's an arrow and when you mouse over it will pop out the control. It looks like just operating channel 1 will go through the different features of the light. Leaving it at 0 and operating channels 2,3 and 4 should make the Red, Green and Blue work. 5 looks like it bypasses the other sliders and makes the unit respond to sound in 2 different ways. If none of the sliders have any effect you may have to open the fixture in Fixture Creator and tweak the settings.
