What brand and model of fixtures are you talking about. May be some suitable subs out there.

Contact this link: http://store.solar-electric.com/12vodcbaforf.html
Give them the type of fixture, the size and number of lamps, and they will send you a replacement bassast for your fixture.
Take out the old ballast, cut the wires, rewire the new one (They are color coded. Just look at the old one)
My DP is ten years old. So far I have replaced four.

Well, I am sorry I gave you the wrong link anyway.
Contact John Drake at: solarsellers.com
He is very knowledgeable and can get you fixed right up!
No, he is not my brother-in-law or any other kin. I am just a satisfied customer.

We spent the last half of the summer working at Davy Crockett's Birthplace. Absolutely loved your part of the country and learning about the "State of Franklin" and the Overmountain men.

Our 2000 coach came with 8 fluorescent ceiling fixtures (Sunray brand) and they haven't given us any problems whatsoever. Off hand, I can't recall replacing any bulbs, however my memory isn't all that great--LOL

Very nice surface mount lights.
