    Thank you

    Don't know!!! But I'll bump this up for you. I have heard of people having problems with the XM bulbs, but I don't know what ballast they were using.

    Thank you, I just got off the phone with IceCap and they informed me that XM is a hard lamp to start and the older IceCap ballasts dont have a restarting module to ensure these lamps will fire. The new models do.
    They also offered to install one for me, but I think I can deal without access to a brand or two.

    FWIW
