Hi William, To fit a dimmer switch in a 2 way circuit is not very different than fitting a 2 way switch. The common wire goes to "COM" and then the other wires go to "L1" and "L2". There are several ways to run the cables in a 2 way circuit. Depending onto that the switches will have to be wired differently. Regards,
