the same way it was.
your problem now though is you need to find out wehat wire does what ion order to put them back, for this you will need a multi meter.
oh and the new light is it suitable for a bthroom. i.e is in enclosed?

you say these wires have no insulation on them?
yikes...
i'd guess your house is in desperate need of a re-wire in that case..

Does sound like you've got a severe case of perished rubber.
Are these wires solid drawn or stranded?
