    2 switches, 2 lights, 1 power
    I have wiring in place for 2 switches, 2 lights with 1 power source going to one of the lights and a wire going from one light to the other. Each switch has wires going to their own light. How do I connect to have each light working on its own switch? For labelling purposes, I put gave each wire a number. Maybe I need a pigtail here or there. Thanks

    Wire nut 8&10 together. Connect 9 to d and mark with tape. Wire nut c & 7

    Wire nut 2, 4 & 6 together. Wire nut 5 & band mark with tape. Wire nut 1, 3 and a.

    Be sure to work with power OFF.
