installing a new light without an outlet
I want to replace a light in my bathroom, the current light has a built in outlet into it (so you could plug something into it). The new light I bought does not have an outlet and I was not sure what I should do with the second set of wires when i remove the old light. The light has 4 wires, two go to the light, and two to the outlet. Do i just put a mare (marrette) the two wires together or mare then separately? any info? thanks for any help!

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're stating that coming out of the wall there's a black and a white which go to the light portion of the existing fixture, and another black and white which go to the receptacle?
If so, after removing the existing fixture, install orange wire nuts on the black and white conductors which presently feed the receptacle, fold them back and complete the installation of your new fixture.
