If you mean 2 bare copper wires those are the ground wires. Tie them together and then connect the light fixture ground wire which will be green or bare copper to those ground wires.

To install a new fixture to replace the one that was removed reconnect the two hot wires together and then reconnect the two neutral wires together. Place the two wires from the new fixture to the corresponding wire colours that you just spliced together. This wiring should be down stream from the light switch. When the switch is turned on the new fixture should light. If this is not the scenario of your question then more information needs to be given.

Do you have to Connect both fixture and house ground wires?

If you're asking whether you have to connect the fixture ground to the house ground, you do. The idea is to connect any exposed portion of a metal fixture to ground, keeping anything you would be able to touch from having a hazardous potential on it. The way to do this is to connect the fixture ground (which is connected to the metal chassis) to the building ground (which comes from your electrical panel).

Outside porch lamp has no box just two wires coming in black wires are tied and don't connect to fixture just the white wires what is going on here?

It sounds like the black wires may be hot wires coming from the power source and the white wires could be neutral wires. The black wires are typically connected to the fixture's black wires. If the black wires aren't connected and capped off, the fixture won't receive power. It's important to properly connect all wires to ensure the fixture functions safely.


You are changing a light fixture but the wires are all the same color which one is the hot wire?

Typically, in a standard electrical wiring setup, the hot wire is black or red, the neutral wire is white, and the ground wire is green or copper. If the wires are all the same color, you can use a voltage tester to identify the hot wire. Be sure to turn off the power before working with the wires.
