**Basic Steps**: "First, turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Then, remove the old fixture and disconnect the wires. Connect the new fixture's wires to the existing ones (usually black to black, white to white, and green or copper for ground). Finally, secure it to the ceiling and turn the power back on!"
