I forgot that i needed to wire two hall lights in parallel so my lights are too dim :oops: these are controlled by three way switches, and I have yet to find a book or website with a diagram or picture of how this is supposed to be wired. I have sketched out what I think will work 8) but would really appreciate some pointers.

Although it may be long, post what each cable is in each box and each connection that you made in each box. I'll put you on the right path. I just need to know exactly what you have right now.
