The MH and PCs should each have their own ballast. One for the MH and one for the two PCs.

The PC one must be internal. I'll look at it again tomorrow.

Don't be surprised if all you find inside the light housing is a couple of transformers and other small components wrapped in heat shrink. I could be wrong though and there may be a generic flourescent ballast (or two) in there. Have you tried new bulbs yet?
