Yeah, so that 3rd step is the bit I don't have. I took the plates off after turning off the breaker, and one has a red wire, but the other doesn't.
The hallway switches are a different matter--those are both 3 way switches, with red wires, but the two lights are independently controlled by the switches. Wahoo.
Looking in our furnace/water heater/panel/fios room, I see that the fios dude has hooked the power into the light socket. Delightfully primitive. So we may have an electrician in our future in any case.
