to get the fixture to plug into a plug in the wall, i totally forgot to mention this in the beginning, but you have to buy a cord at home depot....all it is is a 2 prong cord with the wire ends showing on the other end, you have to twist the wires from the cord with the ones on the back of the fixture to connect them and i just did that and used those little plastic cone things you screw on the end to protect the wires that are connected....if that makes any sense.....my camera isnt working right now otherwise i would put a pic up to show the wires connected....so all you basically need is the 2 pronged cord i think if i remember it was right by the extension cords but it only has the one end that plugs into the wall and the other is just the open wires white and black im pretty sure...
