I am in the process of attaching 4 dually style lights to the back of my jeep. I am going to need to extend the wiring slightly as the harness that comes with the kit is not long enough. The harness as is has 18g wire and I also wanted to upgrade to 16 due to the added length. Normally I would just attach the new wire and not think twice but this is the first time I have wired this type of LED and when I went to make the connection I realized that you can't feed directly into the LED. They have the pigtails with the deutsch connectors on the end and I am assuming the wire in the pigtail is probably 18g. I am wondering if I will run into any trouble/problems with hooking this up to 16g wire. I have heard that you can create a "heat spot" by connecting wire of different gauges. Just looking for some imput
I realize that 16 to 18 on a isn't a big leap on a 15 watt light but I am planning putting in a 300 watt in the front and may have to do the something similar with larger gauges. I am just wondering how you can select the correct gauge wire if you can't control what feeds directly into the light
Thanks!
