175 watt MH ballast?

[Ram_Puppy]

Hey all, I seem to remember a while back someone posted you could find a suitable ballast to drive metal halides at HD.

I was thinking about purchasing new guts for the 175 that went bad on me at home depot, and wondered if anyone knew what I should buy for 175 watter? The old innards have a big black box (i am assuming this is the tar ballast) and a white 'can' inside.

Check out CED (Consolidated Electrical Dist.). They had the best prices out of the other elect. dist. in town. HD and Lowes didnt have the ballasts when I went to get mine.
