I have a room that have 6 recessed lights which are each controlled by their own toggle switch. I would like to condense down from 6 switches Down to 2. 1 have two 3 gang boxes with 3 switches each. What is the best way to do this?

i am not an electrician. I am a homeowner, but I have changed light switches and outlets. I have also just converted a 3 way pole to a 2 way pole. So I have some experience

It can be done but all the travelers will have to be took loose and caped off. I’m sorry I’m not going to be able to help you with pictures, it would take an electrician to do this for you again I am sorry
 
agree with MW. a simple job for an electrician. not so easy for a DIYer.
