You work for UP eh?

Are u a lineman?

you need to study your camera manual. follow your light meter, and adjust accordingly. those are way underexposed - if you can tell us the EXIF, we might be able to help you out further.

things to check out:

rule of 3rds
shutter speed
aperture
iso

and a tripod is a must at night

good luck

Short for Exchangeable Image File, a format that is a standard for storing interchange information in digital photography image files using JPEG compression. Almost all new digital cameras use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date and time the image was taken, whitebalance, auxiliary lenses that were used and resolution.
EXIF files use the JPEG DCT format, so the image data can be read by any application supporting JPEG, including essentially all Web browsers and image editing, desktop presentation and document creation applications.

every photo you've taken has an EXIF file. it tells you every setting you used when you took the photo including the most important ones like shutter, f-stop, white balance, flash, and iso.

there are several ways of finding the exif. the easiest would be to right click on the original pic, properties, summary tab, advanced.
