I have a question about ballast convertion i was hoping to get help with

I was wondering if anyone had converted metal halid ballast to HPS. I have both and it looks like its something that can be done easy. But not sure worried about trying

ANY HELP OR SUGGESTION ON WHERE TO GET THIS INFO WOULD BE GREAT

or just get a digital ballast that will do both MH & HPS

Are You Going To Keep It Like That Or Keep Changing Back In Fourth? If Your Set On Changing It, Maybe You Need To Go To The Manufacture Of Your Ballast Web. Site, & See How They Convert It?,, I Think It Would Make Thing's Alot Simpler, Safer & Easier Just To Change The Bulb.
