Default Replace T12 fluorescent bulb with T8 bulbs?

A T8 shop light costs 17.81 at Lowes. Their cheapest 2 bulb ballast costs
24.02

You have a better source??

If the ballast is not a T8 ballast, it will not work. You need a T8

My guess is since the fixture already contained T12 lamps, the ballast
isn't
for a T8. Therefore, you'll need to change the ballast.

With most "shop lite" type fixtures the replacement T8 ballast would
cost
you more than buying a replacement fixture with the proper ballast for
T8
lamps already installed in it...
