The old light socket had the wires attached to 3 different parts. The new light socket only has an area for two wires (two screws, one copper colored, the other silver colored. The wires are black, green and off-white (almost tan). Where do the wires go or do I need to get a receptacle with 3 prongs? :wall:

Nevermind. I'm having one of those days. I kept seeing green as hot for some reason. :thinker:
