ok time to do some electrical work. remember to always make sure the circuit is off then verify using a voltage tester. most know this but the black wire is your HOT wire and the white one is the neutral. the bare wire is the ground wire, or sometimes it;s green. oh, and when you do test the circuit you should have somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 volts. on this circuit i have 121 but that;s alright.

after striping back the insulation on the wires you then twist them together. black to black white to white ground to ground then use wire nuts on the hot and neutral. it;s always good practice to then seal up the wire nut with electrical tape.

sorry for the somewhat fuzzy pictures. my crackberry is overdosing today.....
