My home has just two small lights on two seperate switches on opposite sides of the house for my backyard.I was wondering if and how I could add A floodlight to each side of the house without running new wire from the fuse box?Can I just use the power running to the existing switches,and just add an extra swich( so I can controll them seperately)for the new lights?

It might work if there are two cables in the switch box.

It won't work for sure if there is only one cable in the switch box.
