From up in the attic, I know one of them comes from the breaker box, and the other goes to the original fixture, but I can't see through the wall ya know. I already removed the switch that was in there, so can't turn the breaker back on (I guess I could've used the multimeter and figured it out before I took the switch out?)
I know just enough about wiring to be dangerous.
