[QUOTE="Stel, post: 4170965, member: 574698"] That should be fine for any standard accessory switch. Just make sure the switch is rate for the total load it will supply. If both lights are independently controlled (if one door is open only that light goes on) and you want to keep it that way, get a 2 pole switch or use two separate switches and wire each switched 12v + feed to a light (or you could use one single pole switch and put two diodes rated at least 2.1a, 12v but thats probably more involved). btw there is only 2 lights I assume? If you have more than 2 and you want only one to turn on with each door opening maybe the diode method becomes easier. [/QUOTE]
