ok I know it isn't clear in the pic above as every MH ballast looks like that pretty much.. this is what you want to see to conferm you have a M80 HQI ballast. this is located pasted on the side of the steel around the coils.
if the lable doesent say that then you have a different ballast.
if it does say that and you don;t have both a starter and a capacitor then go get them.. you want dry film capaciters if you can.. the ones from advance are dry film and a plastic case ignightor.
