Umm...you screw them in. Maybe you can explain your situation a little more.

you can screw the cfls into most any standard light socket. I built this little fixture for mine (got the idea from another thread) i can direct you towards the thread if your interested

I bought a 4$ power strip and 2 socket adapters (plugs into power strip and has light bulb socket). Then I got a 2 pack of CFLs. 6500k. I put the sockets on each end of the power strip, You could probably hold 3 on each strip, i went with two. I am going to make 4 more sets, so 5 strips, 10 lights. One more strip to plug the others into and then mount the lights.
