I came across few of these HPS lamps in my storage room and I am completely clueless on how to wire them. Have you ever came across while using them prior LED? if yes, and considering the free wires are the GROUND wires, how would I be able to connect the other 2 pairs?

Unless you know EXACTLY what needs to be done......do not do it! The chances of getting it wrong and either blowing them up or setting fire to your house are high. Do you even have the ballst/s to run them??

Dude, first of all, you're missing some parts. You need 1 lamp 2 ballast 3 ignitor 4 optional starter Let me see if I can help you out Power supply, brown or black wire and blue wire. Brown connects to the ballast, input (1) and goes out (3) from 3 to connect to the ignitor (R), from the ignitor it goes out (L) to the brown of the lamp. Brown is set. Blue goes into the ignitor (N) and comes out the same (N) to the blue of the lamp. Attention to lamp wattage W, the equipment must be equivalent in wattage. For example, a 600w lamp with 400w equipment won't work. I'm an electrician by trade You can message me privately if you need.
