The 3 power wires connect to the corresponding green, black and white wires on the main wiring harness. Disregard the plug in your 2nd picture.
So the two pictures are of the wires and ballast (icecap 660) that I have. I am planning on wiring it soon....but there's a problem: I can't figure out how to connect the power cord to the ballast. There is a connection, but it's one of those clip on connectors, and it has 4 wire connection parts. Please help...and if you do, don't tell me to google it (Im just a little bitter because I pretty much get that every time. I wouldn't be asking the question if I looked it up on google)
every one says that the icecap is so easy to setup, and the wiring is so easy. I don't understand why they didn't just use a real picture instead of a drawing. Am I stupid or am I just missing a piece?

**KEEP ME AWAY FROM SUPER GLUE ... i tend to glue my lips shut !!**
the 4 pin plug is not for your ac power. in the bundle of cable you have in the pic with the 16 pin connector you should have a black green and white wire. you can connect a plug to this or connect to a Icecap timer and the plug is out of the timer.
this pic shows the timer ,the white green and black wires going into the timer are the ones from the 16 pin connector. and then the power cord comes out of the timer. if you don't have the timer connect a plug or pre made power cord to these wires.
wow, ok....that makes complete sense. Thank you guys sooo much for ending my frustration. I asked this question on 4 other sites and no one could answer it the way I wanted.
THANK YOU! :-)
