I'm installing a can light and need to know what wires to connect together. It's a newer house and the electrical wiring was capped off in this location. So I removed the cap to expose the wiring and there's too much going on. This can light will have 2 switches (one on each side of the room) controlling it. Here's the descriptions.

Can light wiring: one black / one white / one bare ground

Light switch one: 1 brown / 1 rust / 1 orange
Light switch two: 1 brown / 1 rust / 1 black

Existing ceiling wiring:
Pipe one: has 1 brown wire / 1 rust wire / 1 black / 1 white
Pipe two: has 1 brown wire/ 1 rust wire / 1 black / 1 white / 1 orange

Initially the brown wires from pipe one and two were connected and the rust wires from pipe one and two were connected. I had to cut/separate them in order to have room to install the can.

I also needed more wire to reach the new placement of the can so the conduit I bought has 1 black, 1 white, and 1 green wire. I initially connected one of new conduit black and white to Pipe ones black and white and then my second new conduit to pipe twos black and white and connected those to the can's black and whites respectively. So I have 2 blacks and 2 whites and 2 greens coming into the can. I connected all the blacks together with the can black and the whites to the can white and greens to the can bare/ground wire.

Is that clear enough for someone to help me. I've tried a few combo's and either the light never works with a switch and stays on or when I flip the swith the circuit breaker blows. So cleary, I'm just connecting something wrong.

Any help is appreciated. IF pictures would help, let me know and I'll try to upload some.

Thanks.

Pictures of the insides of the switch boxes, switch connections, and inside of the ceiling box would help.
