I'm trying to figure out how to wire a led strip inside my pass through compartment that has a push button to turn on the light when you open either door.Do I need to run wires from one side to the other between the switches like a 3 way in your house? Do I need a special switch? Anyone ever do this?

Or you could just use NO (normally open) pin switches like the fridge light or the dome lights in your car ? Had your rig come with that as an option, that's how it would have been done.
Wired in parallel and then to the light, the light will go on when either of the doors is opened and off when they're both shut. No 3-way wiring, no worry about the lights being left on accidentally, and no need to switch the negative lead. Easy peasy.

Actually, those are NC (normally closed) switches. With the door open the button is released and the switch closes to turn on the light. When you close the door, it presses the button to open the switch to turn off the light.
