1. Turn off electricity to the light. Unscrew the base plate of the old light using a screwdriver. Remove the wire nuts and disconnect the wires. Set the old light aside.
2. Strip an inch of insulation off of the new wires to prepare them to be attached to the house wires. Inspect the house wires for damage or wear. If you are unsure about the condition of the exposed wires, cut them back and strip off a new section as was done with the wires on the light.
3. Twist the wires together, matching colors. Twist the wire nuts onto the connected wires. Push the wires into the junction box.
