Hello-

Lovely thing happend today. I replaced my OUTRUN marquee light and power it up. The fl bulb turned a bright shade of purple on the left side for 5 seconds and promptly blew out. Is this caused by a short?
 
If it indeed "blew out" then you have a shorted ballast. It also took out the tube and starter with it so you'll need to replace those too.
 
Yep. A new ballast can be bought at Home Depot for $6.99, a set of FS-2 starters will cost about $1.50, and then the new bulb...
