Align the new switch plate cover over the installed switches and the electrical box. Insert the screws provided with the new plate and tighten them evenly with a screwdriver until the plate is secure and flush with the wall. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the plate. Once the plate is installed, you can return to your breaker box and turn the power back on to test your new light switch.
