Ballast instruction!!! Please!

[pomgirl64]

Here I am again. What a dork.
Ok. I have the bulb(150 HPS) and I just got the ballast(from 1000bulbs), but I have NO INSTRUCTIONS.
Have looked all over trying to find something online with PICTURE INSTRUCTIONS on how to put the goddamned thing together---nothing.
Does anyone have a link(with pics) on how to get this all put together?!
I know I need a socket for the bulb(which I have), but honestly, I don't have a clue how to get this put together.
I could cry at this point. Just when I think I am really cooking with gravy....
Thank you ALL for helping so much!!!!

You can't use a 1000w ballast with a 150w bulb. You HAVE to use a 1000 HID bulb.

You also have to find out if the 1000w ballast is for a Metal Halide Bulb or a High Pressure Sodium bulb.

No instructions/manual on the actual product website? Ive seen a few there. I was thinking about getting a kit like that from 1000bulbs...let me know how it goes!

Nope. No instruction manuel whatsoever. I suppose most that order this ballast are electritians. However, I did find a 6 page, color detailed instruction "booklet" that I printed from onlinepot.org.
If you ever need the link, email me privately. It is not as difficult as I thought it would be and the instructions are totally step-by-step, clear, consise and COLOR!

For your safety, I have to speak out. again.

Are you telling us you are wiring up a 1000w ballast to run a 150w hps bulb???

Do you know the difference in a Metal halide ballast and a HPS ballast??

I just don't want an old hippy chick to be an electricuted hippy chick.

No man, she is trying to put together a 150w HPS ballast that she bought from 1000bulbs.com.

But it's so nice that ya'll even care about me.
I also have the PDF file now for the exact ballast I have.
I do know a few electritians, so, if I feel like this is just next to impossible for me(or I might fry myself), I will call one of them.
Just like to try and do stuff myself first(if I can).
Thank you all so much!!!
