Ok so i'm borrowing a PFO ballast and before start hacking up the wire is there any sort of adapter for the ballast that would connect to a 5 side house shaped connector??

Yes but they are only available from PFO as far as I know.

James, on that second link it would need to be female connector that looks like the picture

Dang pic did not load, the end on my connector looks like the 360 plug

Steve that would great but i still but only if i can figure out how to fire the ballast

Basically he has the ballast and a pigtail with the mail end for the ballast. Then the light he is wanting to run has a different plug. I say just cut into it and splice in the pigtail I gave you.
