Remove the screws holding the decorative center plate that hangs below the center of the fan (figure B). Remove the plate to expose the wiring. On most fans, once the center plate is removed, dedicated wires for attaching a light fixture will be visible and labeled (figure C). There should be two wires: one white and one black. The light assembly should have corr
