Converting a standard HPS to a MH/HPS Switchable for less than $8.00
Next you want to crimp on the ring terminals to the 4 wires to the 4 wires you stripped in the last step. After those are crimped on (I triple crimp them for safety) you want to attach the wires to the switch. I start with the wires from the ignitor and attach them to either side of the two center terminals on the switch. Then you attach the other wires coming from the wire nuts to the other two terminal on the switch. Make sure to match up the colors of the wires to the corresponding terminals.

Converting a standard HPS to a MH/HPS Switchable for less than $8.00 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 Rating: 5
