Good evening all! I want someone to explain to me how I could possibly arrange this wiring! I am redoing the wiring and I thought I did it right, however my circuit box flicked! (Embarrassing!) Help me out fellow professionals!

I guess so I can better understand, you can try to use paint and edit my magnificent Paint art with the wires as colors!:wink2:

Below is how my house is set up along with the new light positions.

Are both switches supposed to control the light closest to them or both lights are operated by both switches? What cables were run between the boxes?

Assuming these are 3 way switches controlling both lights, you could not have used a worse wiring configuration. What you should have done is bring the power to one of the switches, run a 3 wire cable to the other switch and a 2 wire cable from there to the lights.
