Eh Turbo, thanks for the advice on waiting.

Im sooo upset that my 1000 is busted. im still not too sure if its the ballast or the bulb. i mean the bulb looks %100 but wont fire up, there is a wire that is not connected to the ignitor in the ballast but the electricion said it was ok. we plugged in my 400 hps and it lit RIGHT up as did my 25 mh (mind you the 250 doesnt need the igniton). guess ill see tomorrow when i get my new bulb.
