You would have to put in two lights and two sets of wiring. What you do is
buy one of those big (+-5/8")square full wave rectifiers (They have a
hole to mount with and heavy lugs) from Radio Shack and hook the + terminals
to each coil and the other terminal to your transition light. The other
lug should be grounded. The grounding will keep your relay and switch
points from arcing.

[I was thinking about just using a couple diodes, one from each relay,
to the single light, but your idea of using the full wave rectifier sounds
even better, what with providing the benefit of flyback protection to
the pressure switch contacts, all in a single package.
Great idea.  Jeez, I love this list <g>.
