I recomend that you runn them in Series, that way you will get the full brightness out of the VHO. if you wire them with two wires each it is like using a HO ballast instead of a VHO, But having said that... if you want longer bulb life and don't mind them being not as bright then wiring them with two wires to each bulb is the way to go..
