Ok, we'll I just took out my plastic thing(White opaque hood or w.e under light) and there wasn't a ballast? There were only 2 little shiny

things in the middle, would those be the magnetic ballasts? And where did u put the new ballast? Just in the hood? Cuz I don't think it'll fit in mine O.o

the old ballast is at the end of the cord... its the square box that looks like a transformer..

pretty much where I put mine..

hey, Well, i went to Home Depot, turns out that they didn't carry electric ballasts? You can't use magnetic ballasts for OD right? Btw, is your ballast a F32T8?

My Ballast is the Sylvania version of that one..

I ended up drilling two holes to vent, along with taking off the clear plastic bulb cover.
