I am not a gardener, but I can't get habanero peppers here [Holland] so I
am growing them on my window sill. A few days ago I got about 20 buds, I
thought bingo chilies. But now they are turning into flowers.

Always flowers first, then fruit. These are inside, right? How many
hours of direct sun do the plants get? The more sun, the sooner they
will ripen peppers. Paint pots black to warm the soil. Soil temp needs
to be 21 - 30°C. If worse comes to worse, you may need to get a grow
light. Typically, in my garden in northern California, habaneros take 4
months.

Well, you're on the right path: to have chillies you need the flowers
first - and then they need to be pollinated, which can be the tricky
part if they're inside. You can let insects do the job or you can do it
by yourself. Here's a nice guide to chilli gardening:

Really, not much to worry about. Peppers are self-pollinating. You can
help things out a bit by brushing the flowers gently with your hand, as
is often recommended for tomatoes, or give the flowers a gentle flick of
the finger, to get the pollen from the anthers to the stamen.

Billy is right. It is more important that you keep them warm in sun and
don't let them wilt.

no need for that even with these
flowers, just ding them with your
finger a little.
