Hi Tommy
Sorry for delay in replying. I wish I'd taken photos of the set up before the boxes went back up 😂 But basically I stripped out the wiring and connector terminals from top and bottom. We bought plastic camera trays from Garden Nature and this sits on top of the wooden light plate. We had to modify the hole in the plate to allow the camera to view the box if that makes sense as the camera is screwed into the plastic tray in a position that doesn't match up to the hole. The light in one box is screwed to the underside of the wooden light plate and we had to make a groove in the corner of the plate to pass the wire through. All the wires fit nicely in the roof space and I think we exited them through a hole in the back used in the previous set up. It all sounds very complex but easy when you've got it in front of you.I hope this helps a bit. I can get Hubby to draw a diagram (as he's good at that)If you have any queries just shout.
The fence that one of them is on has been damaged in these storms si uf we have to move the box to fix the fence I'll get a photo while it's down. That is of course if the birds don't claim it for nesting first🤞
