I have two 400 watt ballasts that have gone out. I have the housing, etc... just need new ballasts. I saw this on ebay. Will these work?

i too have just dealt with a MH going out. I called manufacturer, and told me what the problem could be. He guy told me almost 90% of time it is the capacitor that goes out. He also told me that I could ship it out to them for repair (about $75 for repair & shipped back to me). Suggested to me that I go to a lighting specialized store and to get a capacitor for my type of ballast (250 watt/M58), said capacitor only costs about $40.

I am not sure what type of ballast you have, but I would call the manufacturer and see what they suggest.
