man that thing looks like its got some hours on it:cry: i dont know whats worng with it but it might not be the ballast. the bulb could be bad and the noise could be the ballest trying to fire a buld that burned out. just a thought
 
yeh it could be the bulb but it worked fine the day b4 and i was told when they die the explode but i know nothing thats why i`m asking lol
i wont be putting my fingers anywhere near the wires
i am low on cash and dont want to buy a bulb if the ballast has died vice versa
how can you find out which is dead ???
cheers
