Take the bracket of your new, beautiful replacement light fixture and screw it to the hole you’ve just exposed in the ceiling. (You may feel the urge to burn it after having to look at it for so long, but we don’t recommend this.) Install a new bracket Once all three wires are separated, the rest of your boob light should come away from the ceiling easily. Disconnect each of them from their ceiling counterparts, making sure to hold your fixture to avoid it falling on you in the process. Take note of the way the wires are attached to one another, as you will need to match this during your installation. You should see three wires coming from your fixture: The “hot” (black), “neutral” (white), and “ground” (copper). If you have not yet turned off your power at the breaker, now is the time. Allow the fixture to hang freely from the now-exposed electrical wires. Locate the screws holding the fixture’s outer ring to the ceiling, and remove them using a drill or screwdriver-whichever you feel most comfortable operating from that angle. It’s also possible your light is in the same fixture family, but lacking a nipple/finial, in which case you should be able to rotate and remove the boob/shade itself. (Its technical name is a finial.) Once it starts coming free, you’ll be able to remove the shade-the actual boob-to access the hardware. It has to be said: With boob lights, your first order of business is loosening that small, unsightly piece in the middle. There’s no need to draw this project out over multiple days when you can have near-instant gratification.
