The wiring instructions do not match the wires, which light wires go to my white and black house wires? Where does the green wire go?

Green wire, in a 2 wire home, generally can be attached to the ground wire. Be advised that I'm not familiar with your house, so you should contact a licensed electrician to get a hands on look at your wiring. I am only telling you of my experience in your situation. Do not assume that you will have the same result that I have had, or others that are answering your question. Be safe............

You see 3 wires, first one is green and is a ground wire. Attach it to the ground if you do not use the bare copper wire also on the fixture which is another ground wire. The other two are clear and white. On mine the white wire went to the black wire in the box and the clear one went to the white wire coming out of the box. Since this is A/C current it really should not matter which one goes to which but make sure you do use the green or bare copper wires to create the ground contact. Hope this helps.

I do not remember the color of the fixture wires but they are usually white and black, blue or red. White goes to white. Black, blue, or red goes to black coming in from main box. Green goes to ground either a green wire or usually bare wire. Please becareful. If this does not help call a pro. Good luck

I know, it was very frustrating for me. I had to call an electrician to install it. As I recall, you leave all three of the wires that are already attached with those screw ends alone. You only use the two bare wires and the ground wire to your house wires. Green is usually the ground, but I don't remember in this particular case.

the instructions should tell you which wires go to your black (hot) and white (neutral) wires. if there is a blue wire it is hot and goes to the black from your electrical box. if the other wire from the light is white, it goes with the white (neutral) try to make sure they are not touching each other when you stuff them back into the electrical box. the green wire is a grounding wire and goes to the bare copper wire from inside your electrical box. again, try to make sure these three separate couplings are not touching each other.

The lights we just got had a tag on the back of the light which detailed what the wires were(Brown - Hot, Blue -Neutral and Green Ground). Must have been something they added on the newer shipments. With the label, there is no doubt on the wiring. I also connected one last night and it worked as expected..

I would suggest calling Honeywell. They should be able to talk you through the installation. I found the instructions that came with my unit were not very well written, as they failed to address different color codes. My wires as well as a friend's didn't match the instructions, but a call to Honeywell got us going just fine.

No - there are wiring black to white and white to white. This may depend on your local wiring and when the house was built. You will also need a long, small Phillips head screw driver. Bottom-line, it is not plug and play. However, this provided a huge amount of light. Hope this helps.

The wire come with a letter like ABCD so you will put the wires like tha latter says, there is a positive an negative those are for the power get the reverse light conector and plug it there, be careful above the colors of the wires, use adhesive tape to cover it

hook the yellow w/green stripe to ground wire(green), the blue wire is neutral (white wire),and the brown wire is hooked to the 120v hot leg(black wire). hope this helps.

no you don't ,i would go online and see if you can bring up the instruction booklet or even go to u tube and i remember a couple videos of people wiring them in. all i remember is it was easier than i hoped for and i am not good with electricity!

Hi I don't really know the answer to your question. I plugged my existing connection for the lights and it worked. No new wires or changes.

?????????? black wire to black wire green to green ,,,, white wire to whitewire, ground wire should rear that the way mine was

if there are 3only wires in the J box the black should be hot white neutral and green ground. Like to like make sure you ground the fixture. TURN OFF the power first. But your switch may be fed through the J box instead of directly.

We did not have good ones...looked at pic plus so called directions and worked it out. I had to go to the store to get some good wire so I could tie all he black and white to create just one for each as there were so many to connect...normally this is already done for you by most company's , so this is poor to leave to the consumer esp if you know nothing about electrical . If you do that give yourself enough slack as it's hard to connect if you have to hold it up close. Good luck...light is nice though and looks good

use the black and blue wires. the white can be used to light up a 6 volt light. tape it off keep from touching unless you use it

Ours only has two wires - a red and a green. I'm sorry, as I don't think that helps you.

The lights cime with Its own wiring. You'll have to remove your old wires and connect the new wires though.

3 wires, No instructions included, some reviewer says what color does what. I haven't installed mine yet.

If the wires are brown, blue, and green with a yellow stripe then the combination is:Brown = BlackBlue = WhiteGreen/Yellow = GroundHope this helps.

You need a separate switch source, such as a wall switch. The lights are all wired to each other and then there are 3 wires to hard wire it to your electrical source (hot, neutral and ground).
