How can I tell if a MH bulb was used and sold to me as new? I bought 3 150w Radiums and they all came in their boxes, however, two of the boxes were opened and then taped shut and one of the bulbs looks like this, while the other two look totally different.

Looks like a different bulb based on the wiring.
 
Yes I figured out the problem. I took out the old bulb out and took a picture of that one (left), instead of the new bulb which I already installed. The one I think is used is on the right. But I can't take out the new bulb to compare right now. I have another problem however. Do these bulbs look the same to anyone?
