shut the breaker off. Unscrew the wirenut hooking the black wire to the light. Unscrew the wirenut hooking the white wire to the light. If the bare copper wire is screwed into the light, unscrew that.
Now screw the copper wire into the new light.
Screw the wirenuts back (you CANNOT wire this light backwards UNLESS it's one with an electrical outlet on the side - if not, it does not matter at all which wire goes to which wire as long as your bare copper wire is on the screw.)
Screw the light back into the box. This is a VERY easy repair.
