With a conversion kit it gives you all the pieces you need. First remove the spotlight and the can fixture. The housing of the can light will stay in the ceiling, DO NOT remove it. Screw in the brackets for the conversion kit.
In the conversion kit the wiring all comes out of a part that looks like the end of a light bulb. Screw that piece into where the light bulb used to go. The ground wires are on the faceplate of the conversion kit. The next step is to connect them to something.
After the ground wires are connected pull the wires through the hole in the faceplate and screw the faceplate to the ceiling. Next attach the bracket for the pendant light fixture.
Connect the wires from the conversion kit to the pendant light. Screw the pendant light to the bracket.
