How to correctly wire T3s with Fusions/Cannons?

Hey all - long story short I'm adding some T3s to my existing setup which is 2-mode Fusions and 3-mode Cannons. Of course the T3s are only single mode. I'm not using anything like a 4200, just a two-way switch for the two lighting modes on the Fusions and Cannons (the third Cannon mode is turn signals/cargos.)

Here's my question; I want the T3s running during each of the two stages, but seems like if I run a power lead from both modes to the T3s, power will bleed through the T3 connection to the other mode. What's the best way to prevent this? Diodes on each lead to only allow power to flow one way? Or is there some type of relay that will allow a circuit to be powered if there is power from *either* of two other circuits?

Sorry if this isn't clear, I know I'm not doing a great job explaining. Thanks for your input!
