Default replacing light with outlet

Read the original post. The two whites are capped and not attached to
anything. One black is hot and one is neutral. There is a feed and switch
leg in the box.

I'm replacing my bathroom light fixture from one with an outlet to one
with no outlet. There are four wires coming out of the wall to the
light. Two sets of black and white. The white ones are connected to
each other and nothing else. One black wire is connected to two white
wires (one to the outlet and one to the light. The other black wire is
connected to two black wires (one to the light and one to the outlet).
How do I wire a new light that only requires one white and one black?


Take a tester and find out which black is hot all the time and which
one works off the switch.

The black that is hot all the time can be capped off.

Tie the new light white to whites and black to the remaining black.
