1,2 has the we star which was neutrals
3,4 was line's
5,6 was neutrals
7,8 was line's with the wee star
Hmmmmm
And the new ballast has 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 with wee stars between 10,11 and 16,17
Hmmm I'm probably over looking this but the ballast cost £80
Most ballast are straight forward, if they have the same number of connections. The diagram will usually show all wiring to lamp holders, and the stars need to go to the nearest lamp holder(s) as they need to be as short as possible.
The only problems that can usually be encountered, is when the lamp configurations are different (eg: in series, and lamp holders are connected together rather than direct to ballast).
Are the wires coloured differently?

why do they need to be short as possible?????
a guy i work with told me it doesnt matter as long as you match the browns from one lamp with the blues and yes the astrix means the shortest ... so not loads init and its up and working and everyone is happy. ty
