![]() Got the VHO sockets enad of last week, so yesterday and today I finished the project.
this is the buisness side with everything installed ![]() All the wiring junctions. I made all the cords equal lenght to the ballasts now (they were unequal lengths due to the socket locations and how I had routed them), and spliced the two fans onto a single cord instead of seperate. ![]() Here it is installed in the cabinet. ![]() And here is what I am replacing. I think this new one looks much improved. ![]() ![]()

![]() Not too bad for cost. The most expensive part is the VHO bulbs, but I needed 1 new PC anyway. Well under a hundred for the rest. Of course I all ready had all the really expensive parts; ballasts, fans, MH sockets and bulbs, etc.

![]() The fans came with my MH upgrade kit from J&L. The kit had the ballasts, reflector, sockets cords and fans. They do sell the fans seperately as well.
