Default Powermodule ballast

Has anyone actually changed the center ballast on a 10 bulb powermodule? If so how did the wires to pull through? If not anyone know a good repair center for these lights?

Thanks

I can't get enough slack on the wire to pull the ballast all the way out.

Did you watch the video ?

You need to remove a few things before you can pull the ballast out

Unhappy

Yes I did, There is so much wiring and crap in the center groove. They never remove a center. Right now i'm treating it as a paper weight. Looks like a good time to try led.
