Coralife Aqualight Elite 48 Inch Problem

[Trvsvrmr]

Hey I have a 48 inch coralife aqualight elite aquarium light. It has two 250 watt metal halide lights in it. When I purchased it, it came with ballast for double ended bulbs when the fixture can only support a single ended bulb. I was wondering if anyone knows of a ballast that would work with my coralife light? I would like it for the plugs to fit so I don't have to splice any wire.



Also, if anyone has the legs and knows where to get them that would be great. Thanks!

Sorry about that, here are the pictures.

So....I have a major problem with my light. It uses single ended bulb and the ballasts I have for it say that they are for double ended metal halide, does this make any difference?

Also, I bought new metal halide bulbs and everything and the bulbs still won't strike even a blue arc. The light has shocked me a couple times and I noticed that when I turn one ballast on, the other ballast also turns on so I think I may have a ground issue? All power coming into the light connected to the same ground post and I do not see where any error could occur? Let me know if anyone can point me in the correct direction.
