Don't do anything-except contact the landlord by email (for proof).
-If he doesn't fix them quickly (this is a fire-saftey issue), then put your next check into escrow and let him know why.
-If the LL still doesn't respond, use the $$ to move, or hire a licenced/bonded electrician against your rent and/or contact the city housing department.

Legally, it's not your house to modify. As per the lease agreement, you only "temporarely own" the property with conditions to maintain it in at the same standards.
