the same thing happened to me like four days ago i used a power supply cable you strip off the thick rubber coating from around the cable be careful because because you dont want to mess up the wires on the inside and they should also have the same colors to match up with the ones that are cut on the ballast because thats how mine came the cabels on the ballast and the light were cut and i figured they would have sent me them with it was just on the side nope but good priced swithable 400watt couldnt help myself but i hope this helped

ballast and ignitor are from the same manufacturer but the capacitor is from some other manufacturer.

but is it normal that the ballast only have 2 wires in it?

is there a wiring diagram man... or can you at least take a decent pic of the one thats printed on the parts so i can read whats what.

ive help ppl wire these before.. you need a wiring diagram. all your doing is making a circuit. simple shit but u dont want to short out your parts.

this is the stuff that makes buying the ballast already made worth its money... and thats coming from a guy who can build em.:mrgreen:
