You connect it with the same hot wire as the black wire in the fan. It is intended to be tied to a different switch. One for the fan, and one for the light kit.

I see only a red and a green wire coming out from ceiling box. What are they and how do you connect them to a ceiling light?
Normally red or black is the hot wire and green is the ground. However someone may have used the green wire as the neutral wire which is normally white. Just connect the black wire from the light to the red wire and the white wire from the light to the green wire and see if it works. If not you have to pull the wires out of the ceiling box and see how they wired it.

I have a Hunter ceiling fan that is operate's by remote only, I have a red wire coming out of the ceiling where do I hook that wire ?
In the US where do the blue red green and white wires on a fan go to when the ceiling has red black bare copper and white wires?
Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.

Why is there only red black and white wire ceiling and no green?
Each color means a different thing and there are green ones, they are just not as common There should be a bare wire along with the red, black and green wires in the ceiling. It is possible that it was cut off short or tied up to the box somewhere. this is the same as the green wire.

no sparking fanThe white wire from the fan to the white wire from the ceiling get wire nutted together.The black and blue wire from the fan go to the black wire from the ceiling and all 3 get wire nutted together.

Do you need 3-wire romex to feed bedroom ceiling box by electrical code?
No, you can feed it with a 2 wire Romex + ground. It depends on what is mounted on the ceiling. If it is just a light all you need is 2 wire + ground Romex. However if it is a fan/light and you want to control each one independant of the other you will need to use 3 wire Romex + ground. This is of course if you have 2 seperate switches. You would then connect the red wire to the blue light wire and the black wire to the black fan wire. If you use 2 wire Romex just connect the blue and black fan/light wire to the black wire in the ceiling box.
What do you use to connect the electrical wires when fitting a ceiling fan or ceiling light?

You have 2 lights in your garage ceiling that you are trying to wire you find that one of the lights have a an extra wire RED Does this Red wire get combined with the Black or White wire?
If it is an extra wire, don't combine it with any. Cap it off by itself. Three conductor wire is intended for 3 way switches, or fan-light combo use. If that was three-way-ed through the light box, you'll have to ask the question differently.
