Someone please help me figure out how to wire my halides. Bought them used and w/no instructions. I am not an electrician :wacko .

Cap off the yellow/blue wires, you wont need them, next get a grounded cord and connect the black to black and white to white on the ballast. this is your 110vac you plug in to the wall. also connect the green wire to the ground wire on the ballast , usally also green. next connect the white wire from your lamp socket to the white wire on the ballast, you will have 2 wires on this. now just connect the red from the ballast to the other black wire on your lamp socket. hope this helps. if you need any help let me know. i live here in sa. good luck.
