Toggle Switch

[Bosbury1]

This weekend I want to put my accent lights on my bike and was wondering what type of toggle switch I need not sure of the SPST or SPDT thing. Here is the configuration I'm thinking about:

On - Engine Bay
Off - N/A
On - Wheels (both engine bay and wheels)

When I hit the switch I want the engine bay lights on, then when I hit it again I want both the engine bay and wheel lights on together.

What type of toggle switch will I need?

When I hit the switch I want the engine bay lights on, then when I hit it again I want both the engine bay and wheel lights on together.

But you also want to be able have neither Bay or wheel lights on correct?

Clarification, I want to have the engine bay lights on by themselves by using the switch. When I hit the switch again I want the wheel lights on, so I have both the engine bay lights and wheels lights on the same time. Three positions first Off; second position: engine bay lights only; third position both the engine bay lights and wheel lights.

SPDT with center Off.

Neither. DangerDan is correct. DPDT center off. Glad Dan caught that!
