yo man i can give you help
im a journeyman electrician and the knowledge is a great help
if yourre gonna run the wires from the lights straight to a cord thats gonna plug into an outlet or timer... you gotta tie all the whites and blacks together and top em with a wire nut and if the fixture yourre putting your bulbs into is metal, run the ground wire (bare copper/ green insulated) to the fixture for safetys sake
you can never have too many grounds
