Ceiling fan light replacement -- What on earth is this?

A while back, I had a problem with the ceiling fan light in my office. I tried to unscrew the bulb to replace it, but the bulb's thread stuck inside the socket, like it was glued in there. I wasn't able to remove the threading no matter what I did, so I decided to replace the light kit instead. I bought a replacement universal light kit from Lowe's that looks like this: ​ https://i.redd.it/3mu6l69z8wh31.jpg It has screw holes on the top and sides to screw into the light switch housing. The problem is that my ceiling fan doesn't seem to have that. It just has a cardboard wafer, and above that is a mess of wires. Nothing to attach the new light kit to. ​ https://i.redd.it/mkvv6l109wh31.jpg Am I boned here? The previous owner cheaped out on every little thing, so I'm guessing this was some bargain basement fan that isn't compatible with any other light kits. Am I going to need to replace the entire fan? submitted by /u/weirdshitblog [link] [comments]
