If your fan includes a light kit, the next step is to connect its wiring to the fan motor's light wires. Typically, these are quick-connect plugs, but some may require wire nut connections. Once connected, attach the light kit assembly to the bottom of the fan motor using the provided screws. Feed the pull chains (for fan speed and light operation) through their designated holes in the light kit. Screw in the light bulbs (CFL or LED are common). Finally, attach the light cover by twisting or screwing it into place, completing the fan's aesthetic and functionality. Attach the decorative pull chain ornaments.
