If I get two ditch lights can I splice the wires to make it “one function” I dont need flashing, just light. Will this work?
Sure will they will just go on and off together
Just a caution, particularly if the lights are incadescent and not LEDs. Check the current rating of the bulbs, and the current rating for an individual function output on your decoder. You can always connect more than one light to a single function, but you have to watch the current rating. Ditch light bulbs are small and shouldn;t be a problem, but if you had two bulbs rated at 30ma, and the decoder’s function output was limited to 50ma, the pair in parallel would draw 60ma and overlaod the decoder. In this particular example it would probably work - for a while, since it’s just over the limit.
A pair of 15ma bulbs, running on a decoder that can handle 50ma, is perfectly fine, since the paid of 15ma bulbs totals 30ma, well below the decoder limit.
