My plug is as follows:

Top of ballast

Orange: Blue: Blue: Red: Yellow: Brown: Brown: Purple
Black: Green: White: (Empty): Orange: Yellow: Red: Purple

If your black, green and white match location with mine you could try running your wires as mine from the balast plug and not worry about the color..as long as the power colors match.

Might be worth a try

I kinda remember a question awhile ago about tan wires, but I think it was an older ballast..

lost
 
yeah i'm totally lost i need someone that can come here and wire this thing i've tried the phone explanation and the online one and honestly its all greek to me it doesn't make sense to need 2 of one wire and only provide one
