HID ballast Q

I have hanabi 8000K kit and one of the ballast went dead.
I was wondering if any brand ballast will fit on my kit.

Hey John, they have to have the same type of connectors. Some times you can mix and match ballasts, but it's not reccommended. I have a hanabi ballast, but send me a pic of yours to see if matches mine. If not then I'll try to find you one.

I think you can either blow the bulb, or burn up the ballast.
