ON LG FOR 2 YEARS! Please don't ask to meet up with me, as I am still living with my mother. Don't send me items either please, thank you!
LED street lights are bad. Some look good though. HID is better.
Please, watch out for the future. It's not looking good. Loves instruction manuals of any kind!

That is waaaay too much for what I'd pay for one of those! $100 for a yardblaster ballast???  They are usually priced around $10-$30 on there. |

| I'll consider it but the thing that is bugging me is that they are selling the shell of it for $50

| Yardblasters are quite common on FB marketplace, at least around here. I’d recommend taking a look on there.

| Also make sure to check OfferUp and Craigslist, as you're more likely to find one there for a better price than eBay.

| Yeah I don't know what that seller with the $100 ballast is thinking. You can get a complete one NOS for that price. They probably lowered the value stripping it down and selling the ballast for $100, the lens for $50, and the head for $50 than just selling the entire thing complete.
I personally won't pay any more than around $40 for a 175w MV ballast, which is the going rate for a CWA one. The one in the second link should work fine. The other cheap way would be to find a cheap one on Offerup or Facebook or CL and take the ballast from it.

| Update: I got my R175M working again! It turns out there was a wiring fault in the outlet I was plugging it into and the ballast is actually just fine. I am still looking for MV yardblasters though!
