Simple wire run....wire from main buss to 1 amp circuit breaker or fuse,  
then wire from CB/fuse to microswitch at the outrigger, wire from  the 
microswitch to green light inside cockpit, wire from green light to  ground. 
Duplicate

using same CB/fuse, run out to microswitch on the other  wing and then run back

to a second green light.

I gotta admit that I am challenged by all things electrical,  so I would 
humbly ask that someone...someone who can handle wiring diagrams,  warning 
lights,

microswitches, and a digital camera (while skipping rope and  chewing gum at 
the same time)...please, put together an illustrated  tutorial (in crayon) 
showing just how this is done.< 
The wiring for  the outrigger warning lights is very simple. Each light is 
connected using a  microswitch attached to the outrigger leg. The placement of

the microswitch  was decided on such that its lever arm would be fully 
depressed once the latch  was engaged.
