Ok if you are not comfortable working with electricity and do not know how to make safe High voltage connections,
DO NOT ATTEMPT

Now the discalimer is out of the way.
OK, you start with a standard HPS ballast and crack it open. Remember that most manufacturers will void the warranty if the ballasts seals are broken. With that said, lets begin the surgery. After the ballast is cracked open you need to locate the ignitor (generally next to the capacitor but smaller) and trace the wires coming out of the ignitor. Some are labeled X1 and X2 but we'll do this pretending that there are no marks on the wires. Two of the wires coming off of the ignitor will lead to a wire nut that holds three wires. Two of these wires comes directly from the remote light plug. I have labeled these X1 and X2. Seperate these sets of wires from the rest.

There should be a poll on this thread, Did you find this thread useful? yes or no
