Hey Everybody,

I recently picked up a Viper Night Drivin' and can not get the black lights to power on. The bulbs were all blown out when I bought it and the 2amp cabinet fuse was blown as well. I replaced all 3 bulbs and fuse and tried to turn them on in the test mode and 1 quickly flickered on and off and I turned the machine off took the bulb out and it was blown as well. I bought 3 starters same time I bought the bulbs but they have not come yet but I knew one starter worked and that was the bulb the flickered quick.

I am guessing I have a bad ballast and was wondering which one people would recommend to replace the current one in the machine. Should I get a magnetic one just for easier wiring or should I go with an electronic ballast like this one. Any other ideas on what it could be besides ballast as well are greatly appreciated.
