I have a kit for 2 55W PC lights. It comes with wiring diagram 11.
Step 1 is to connect both pin sets of the s0cket before connecting "red" & "yellow" wires. I am not sure what this means??
Step 8 When connecting two red poser wires, they must be joined to make one wire. The picture indicates to me I would take a wire nut for each pair of red wires and add an additional wire. Then run that wire to another wire nut and have two red wires coming out of it. Those I would plug into holes 1 & 2 on the plug. Is this correct?
Could I also strip a section of insulation off one red wire and wrap + solder a stripped end around the bare wire and reinsulate with shrink insulation? It would be much neater and not have all the wire nuts. I would then repeat the process with the other red pair and could do something similar with the single yellow wire.
Thanks,
Bob
P.S. Why do the wires from the ballast need to be joined into one instead of each going directly into the plug?
