It is fairly easy, you should be able to find good directions on the internet with pictures--just do a search. The black wire is generally the hot, the white the neutral, and the green (or copper) wire the ground. I would recommend putting in a GFI outlet. If the GFI is installed on the first outlet on the circuit, it protects every outlet past it. Make sure that you have a breaker large enough for whatever you plan on plugging in. Also if these lights are switch controlled, the outlets you put in will be switch controlled.
