Need help wiring

[myreefclub0070]

don't think you can get that in or get it to stay the socket, if the wires on the ballast is long enough cut then and use that to loop or if you have a old or junk ballast laying around, cut that up and use it.

I will use the wires from the ballast w the hard ends to connect to the end caps. And then make the "run" w the braided wire. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem combining them


So long, and thanks for all the fish.
