Most decent light fixtures will have some sort of instruction sheet that will show the proper installation along with a simple wiring diagram. Also, go to the library and check out some home improvement books. One caveat is that some older homes do not always have black and white wires and if the light is 3-way wired it can get further confusing. In all honesty, if youre not sure how to do a simple light fixture, get a friend who is competent to show you. Things can go bad real quick with electrical work when done wrong.
