magnetic ballast for VHOs

[trillyen]

Ok i got these vho end caps pre-wired, and i cant seem to find any ballast that have the same kind of end to fit into the ends of my end caps!!
the end of the wire on my end caps looks the exact same as my mogul metal halides ends that plugs into the magnetic ballast, which is why im thinkind they may have been on a magnetic ballast before
im having a hard time fiding one
does anyone know what i have or how i could go about powering my vhos without having to re wire them???

is there even such a thing i can plug these into and make them work??
the guy before me had to plug them into something!!

The wires should just slip into the cap ends...There should be a few slits on the bottom of the ends, where the wires are pushed into.

not that end the other end that plugs into the ballast
im looking for a ballast that it can fit into
it has the ballast box plug on the end to where im gonna have to get a ballast already in the box with the on off switch, and im not sure if i can get 1 like that
where can i order 1 from???
any body kno???

here is what the end looks like
so what kind of ballast can i get to plug it into and then just plug the ballast into the wall???

Sorry dude. That's a proprietary plug made by whatever manufacurer originally built the lights. That looks like no standard plug made by one of the big connector manufacturers (AMP, Molex, Longwell, etc) that I've ever seen.
You'd be better off just hacking that thing off, toning out the lines with a multimeter, and re-doing the wiring on a universal ballast like an icecap or something.
