Exclamation icecap wiring
i am tryint to finish my diy 8 bulb canopy running 2 icecap 660-009 balasts 4 bulbs each but the diagram i have has 2 wires for each color and the factory harneses only have 1 of each color with some extra colors not very good at wiring was wondering if someone out there could give me some tips or even come over and give me a hand there could very well be beer here for the lucky volunteer i would really apreciate the help this is like a totally different language to me

Maybe post a picture so people can see the harness. I re-wired mine but it was a different ballast.

sounds like you have the wrong harness for a 660. the colors are in pairs for sure:
2 red
2 yellow
2 blue
2 brown
and black, white and green for power

checking on the 440 for you now

its the one that came with it and it plugs right in to the balast

let me know if you want to try and match the wires (colors) at the pins, I can let you know which bulbs they go to on mine if it will help....

Default wiring
the diagram on the balast is the same as the one online and the harness has all the colors in singular with extra wires
