Upgrading Odyssea CF ballast with MR-192


I have a slight problem. My Odyssea's CF ballast blew and I couldn't find an exact replica so after quite a bit of searching I came across the ARO MR-192 which seemed to be the best replacement. Now I'm at a standing point cause the original ballast had 3 wires going out to 2 CF's in a parallel circuit and this new one has 8(4 wires per light). I can not figure out on my own how to take the 8 wires and convert them to a 3 cable circuit. If needed, I can upload the schematic for both the new and old. Thank you in advanced.

the old ballast used the paralell design and the new ballast uses a series setup. there is actualy a forth wire that goes from one cpf to the other but you did not describe that. you will not be able to use the same wiring setup.
