Need help wiring - DPDT question

Problem:
I have two lights I need to illuminate. In one mode, both should illuminate. In the other, just one.

Oh! that's easy. Just use a SPST relay for one of the lights and just connect the other light straight up to the power source. SIMPLE!

Thank you for your help. While working on this project I went "down the rabbit hole" so badly I needed to take time away. I almost got sick because of the focus. It happens.

Would you explain how to connect the relay? I have many but I can't think how to use one here.

I am considering just wiring two SPST switches. It isn't the most elegant of efficient but it also might be my solution since I cannot seem to figure out how to solve my problem otherwise. My brain is so good at some things but not this kind of imagination and logic flow.

Sorry about that. I thought you were talking about relays. I really meant switches.
