Provided you have electrical wiring experience, Ballasts are available at most commercial electric and lighting suppliers.

An inexpensive option would be to purchase a MH fixture and cannibalize it for the parts.

Make sure you use a ceramic socket, and use prudence when assembling your light.

MH burn VERY hot, and should be over the enclosure but not in it.
