  2. Remove existing bulb(s) from fixtures.
  3. Please note that with Single Ended Power (SEP) tubes, the pins on the non-energized or dead end of tube are only used to hold that end of the tube in the socket. You will need non-shunted tombstones.
  4. Make sure the wires going to the G13 socket are in the live end of the tube.
  5. Locate your ballast, in many T8 fixtures, the ballast is covered by a casing.
  6. Disconnect all of the wiring from both sides of the ballast, remove the ballast.
  7. Cut the socket lead wires 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. You will only need one set of sockets for single-ended tubes.
  8. Strip one inch of the colored insulation off the remaining wires.
  9. Connect the live and neutral wires (black and white) from the power source to the corresponding socket (blue and red) wiring using push-in connectors or wire nuts that screw on.
