Help Needed with 3 way switch wiring

[DanM]

Wiring in an extra light is easy... wiring in an extra light on a 3 way circuit? That's more challenging!

The garage has one bulb in the middle... No where near enough light. I plan to add 3 more. Luckily, the ceiling is suspended and partially open, so there is plenty of access and space to run the wire. There are two switches that control this light, one at the door entering the house and one next to the garage door.

The picture below is the current wiring scheme. How do I expand that with 3 additional lights? I'm a visual guy. If someone could draw in the red, white, and grey wires on the diagram, I would be greatly appreciated.

If your setup is exactly as shown above, just connect to the black and white wire at the lamp fixture with a 14/2 copper wire. This makes the four lights in parallel. Do not connect to the wires that have wire nuts on them, just the other two. You do not have to change anything at the switches

Great, very good explanation! One can easily do this wiring after reading this post!!

Just make it a parallel circuit by connecting and splicing all your hots(black wire) together and your neutrals(white wire) together so it will share the voltage and all the lights will be equally bright

Please don't mind my answer I just needed to reply to an electrical forum for a project
