I have a dual 250 Watt HQI ballast, I no longer have the pendents, so I am unable to fire this up. Is there any way or how I can get the lamp cord or make one?

LT-PFQD8 is no longer made, I believe that would be the pig tail. I had this ballast since 2002, I thought I had 400 sitting around, i guess I do not.
 
Could you post a pic of what you're dealing with? There's usually a way to plugs these ballasts in, is something like this what you're looking for?

Yes!!! Its the one on right I am looking for. Looks like my ballast is 400 watts! This is the holy grail!

If you are looking to overdrive a mogul socket, someone on ebay has brand new old stock PFO mogul sockets and cords for sale, get it now before it's too late even if it's just for the cord.

Not sure if I can link it but search on ebay "Metal Halide Light Socket with Cord for Aquarium Lighting Brand NEW!!!"
 
I need to take a better look, looks like to I need the one on the left? I need to get a flashlight when I go home for lunch.
