I know this is the meca of knowledge for all things salty :) I recently purchased a Sfiligoi Stealth 8x T5 with 2 x 250 watt hqi.The manual well..doesn't describe much :( and i'm a halide noob,only used T5's.I have a sunlight galaxy duel ballast coming,but how it the heck do i wire the 2 sets of pigtail wires to the ballast,which has plugs ? I just know nothing about halide ballasts,and don't want it looking like a hack job.Oh,i'm in the sticks,no LFS here and will need anything shipped. Thank You in advance.

They sell adapters that have plugs that fit into the ballast, and pigtails to retrofit to another fixture.

You might be able to find them cheaper than that, thats just to show you what you are looking for.
