Confused on DIY light signal

I am new to circuits and I want to make a signal light with 3 L22 signal lamps that can be triggered remotely. I have a remote relay with 4 outputs corresponding to 4 buttons on a remote. When I press a button, I want that to turn off the other light that is on and turn on the light I want. Any help will be appreciated!

It sounds to me like the essence of what you need is something commonly called a radio button circuit. You'll just be replacing the buttons with the outputs from your remote control receiver. Googling "radio button circuit" should bring up lots of circuits.

I haven't built this, but after looking at a few different ideas, I think this one looks pretty nice:

Many of the members here have far more experience with logic circuits than I do, so it'll be interesting to see what they think.

No problem!

If you want more specific help, we could use some more details. The part number (or better yet, the datasheet) for the remote relays would help a lot. Depending on what the outputs are like, the circuit I linked to may need some adapting or may be pretty complete.

Specs on the L22 signal lamps, as well as what voltages / power supplies you'll have available to the circuit would also be helpful.

Cheers!
