hehe ya my bad, I called them grounds but they arn't.. I should have said the yellow wires [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

and Darren yup thats exactly what I did.. I think.. anyways throught some trial after I have found that only one blew.. the other is defective. the weird thing is when I powered up the first one it puffed.. the other wasn't even plugged in yet. so I never had them both plugged in at the same time. I have sat down and thought about how I did it and what i did and it shouldent have blowen unless the other
ballast tryed to DRAW a higher curent through the first one for some reason.. of course I could be sucking slew water in my thoughts.. I know a fair bit about electricity and lights ect.. but with electronics, I know just enuf to be dangerous [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

as for ground (green) yes I had both ballast grounded

Oh and Titus.. you are realy scaring me now LOL going for the camera first Bahahaha that was the last thing on my mind hehe..

this is the drawing off how I hooked it up. don't try to recreat this as I feel ou will probably have the same results.
