Feed wire through middle post

Step 5:

Attach the light kit to the plate you removed from the fan.  Normally you attach the light kit to the threaded ferrule.  Run the wires through the threaded ferrule.

Screw on the wire nuts

Step 6:

Hold the light kit up to the fan.  Using small wire nuts, attach the wires from the light to the wires in the fan.  Blue to blue, white to white.  Push the wire nuts up into the fan.

Push wire in housing

Step 7:

Push the light kit up into the fan, lining the screw holes up.  Insert and tighten the screws to hold the light kit up.

Replace hanging screws

Step 8:

Turn the breaker back on and test the light.  If it works, you are done.  If not, go to step 9.

Final wiring connections

Step 9:

It is a good idea to have another person help for this step.  Turn the breaker back off.  Get on a step ladder and, with the other person supporting the weight of the fan, remove the base of the fan from the ceiling.  Ease the fan down several inches.  There is likely a blue wire up there that is not hooked to the black wire coming from the box.  Put this wire into the black pigtail and put the fan back into place.
