Power pickup and field are on opposite terminals, brushes on the other opposite terminals. If direction is opposite the desired direction of the switch, reverse the wires on the switch for the brushes. Both lights are wired to the center rail pickup at the collector or at the switch and are not directional using this simple switch.
