I've replaced lighting and outlets before, but not a switch. Novice but not a complete noob.
Anyway, my fiancee wanted me to replace a couple of lights/switches with dimmers. Each switch has always acted as one way for one light. However after loosening the plate on one to start disconnecting I see wiring that doesn't match any wiring diagrams/youtube videos I looked at as research. I'm confused basically. Why is there no neutral connection? Why are there two lives? Why do I keep getting boils on my genitals?
I would love some advice on how wire the dimmer switches I bought and how to deal with the present wiring.
Pictures of the wiring and my new switch.
Thanks fuckers
