    I finally completed my hood with M
    H lights. Light came right on but is not reaching the high intensity it should. They have been on about 20mi now. Any ideas?

    Are you using double ended or mogul style bulbs? If using double ended make sure the bulb is getting full contact at both ends.

    Make sure you plug the ballast directly into your outlet. don't use a drop cord. Are you using the proper ballast for the bulbs you are using? 
    Hope this helps.
