Need Ballast wiring help!!

Calling anyone who knows power!!!

I hope this diagram shows up ok.




I have a workhorse dual 96watt ballast that went out and I replaced it with a different brand. the workhorse had 5 output wires (4 hot and 1 ground). The lights are wired with the ground in a T from the ballast.

The new ballast has 8 wires (4 hot and 4 ground).

I would prefer to not re wire my lights. Here is my question. Can I connect the 4 hots from the new ballast to the original 2x2 hot wires and connect all  four grounds to the original 1 ground wire without blowing anything up?

Thanks for your help!!!

Thanks for the insight Jon. I am not electrically competent.

I emailed hello lights and they told me the coral life is an instant start ballast. Is this the only reason that it wouldn't work?
