@usc5299 Just get the Lowes or Home Depot guy to install that for you. It's easier and safer for you. Why work hard when you can relax in the comfort of your home?

@bigbrightsky No one can install the lights without knowing which wire goes to which? This is my query.

@usc5299 You have to "splice" into a junction box. Find one in the attic and tie your new wires into it, do not forget to hook the old ones back up also. Run the new wire to your desired location, cut hole for new light box, feed wires and install light. Make sure you are not overloading the circut and the power is off to the circut you are connecting into while doing this project. You must use a junction box for the new fixture. If you need more help feel free to email me.
