Using a screwdriver, locate and unscrew the fasteners holding the old light fixture to its mounting bracket on the wall. Carefully pull the fixture away from the wall to expose the electrical wires. Unclip or unscrew the wire nuts connecting the house's wiring to the old light fixture's wiring. Disconnect the ground wire, neutral wire, and hot wire. Once all wires are disconnected, completely remove the old light fixture.
