You would need a dbl. throw dbl. pole switch to do this. A switch with 3 positions, where the center position is off, one way would control the first light, and the other way would control both lights. Any other combination would need a multi-pole switch, like a rotary switch or two switches. A headlight switch is a multi-pole switch, as an example.

Wire the DPDT switch with power to center 2 terminals, then hook up 1 light to 1 corner of the switch, the second light connects to the other poles corner, the light that needs to be on in both positions will get a jumper from the N/O and the N/C connection. |

I understand the wiring for a single switch for a single light but what do I do with multiple lights on the one switch without making the whole circuit run off that switch. There are other outlets that need constant power on the same line as the two lights.
