I have an outdoor light I am trying to hookup. There are two wires coming in with a white, black and ground. One is coming from the breaker and the other going on to the other outdoor lights I need to setup. My light also has a white, black and ground wire. How do I wire it?

And I'm in the UK, so not really the right person to answer, but would point you to advice elsewhere - if you are uncertain, this link is worth a read, from the start through to "Figure A".
You may need GFCI protection for an outside circuit - you need to research that - Edit, seems needed for outlets but not for lights!
