I have just purchased a 110V U ground plug end to repair a light (1 K). The old one did not have a ground so I went to get one that is up to code (the plug part). There are three wires - green (ground), black and white (beige). I am not sure on which side to place the Black and Beige wires - on the plug it says 'insulated wire here'. But both the black and the beige are insulated, so I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks
fFixing a light and need some help with where the wires go...

Assuming that you are in the USA or Canada, the black wire goes to the narow blade - the hot lead. The white/beige ground/neutral wire goes to the wide blade, and the green wire goes to the round plug which is the safety ground.
Hope this helps.
