A fluorescent ballast for my son's aquarium blew a couple resistors. This
part is built into the cover of the aquarium so I'd rather try to replace
the blown components than the whole thing. Can anyone assist with
determining the value of the resistors so I can try replacing them? I can't
find any info using the ballast model number. The bulb is 8w.

I bet more is blown than those resistors.
