And lastly, I took pictures of what I believe to be the resistor ballast. Mentioned earlier in the thread, and I didn't know what it was.

Them there wars ain't lookin' too healthy. And one of the connectors is just dangling. Which leads me to believe that this is not the original resistor ballast.
