Single Black Tower Lighting Issues

Since I the bottom lights work and I have new bulbs (that work in the bottom fixture)and the top lights do not that it is in fact the ballast that is bad? How expensive are ballast?
 
My top lights are out but like others said mine are the 4 m16 bulbs. Replacing your ballast is easy like they said. That site is a good one to use. Im still trying to fix mine lol.
 
I see the ballast in your pics but I really like the idea of converting it over to LEDS or halogens.
I get that you want instant gratification but you'll like the look better.
 
I am having a terrible time finding a replacement ballast for this. Anyone have any thoughts? The people at ballastshop.com linked me to one but it did not have enough wires coming out like the one I have. Anyone know what ballast to use to replace these?
 
Ballast P/N?
I'd still go with the MR-16 LED idea and rework the top.
 
I would need details on what/where to purchase all the necessary items to convert over. I am a noob at this so details man, details. If i convert over will I still be able to run all lights off the original on/off switch?

As posted before check out http://www.superbrightleds.com or you can Google other LED suppliers.
You will be able to run all lights off the same power switch. Just take the 2 wire input from the existing ballast and connect it to the LED transformer. Wire the output of the tranformer to the MR 16 sockets in parallel and plug in the lights. You will additional illumination to light the logos. You could buy some strip LED's for that.

You may find the snap in bezels, (what hold the light after you cut the hole) at Home Depot.
Warning/Disclaimer. Unplug cord from the wall outlet before attempting conversion. I am not responsible for injuries, loss of life or limbs, damage, fire, mutilation of equipment or loss of your Oakley collection.:focus-97:
 
1) Will I still be able to use the fluorescent lights and ballast on the bottom?

2)Does this company not provide bezels?

3) The first item linked, do I get the 20 watt or 60 watt?

4) You mentioned taking the 2-wire input from existing ballast and connect it to LED transformer. Are you referring to the ballast that still works for the bottom lights? Because the ballast on the top is bad.
