I would assume he's referring to something like this:

However you will have to find a way to install that somewhere you have access to the wiring & also that is somewhere outside that light will get to it. The most obvious spot would be in the fixture itself, just not sure what exactly you're trying to hook this thing to and if you'll have room. Other than that it should just wire into either of the wires going to the fixture.
Honestly I was more referring to just buying a fixture with the photocell already installed, but if you're attached to the ones you already have you're going to have to go this route.
Honestly the timer shouldn't be too bad to install assuming you actually have a common wire. However the other thing to consider is whether or not the existing switch is a 3 way. The easiest way to tell is if there are 2 switches that control that same light you'll need a 3 way switch.
