What Gauge Wire Should be Used to Wire 8 Marker Lights, Incandescent or LED
Question:
Im going to be using 8 marker lamps and two stop/turn/tail lights. Should I use 16 AWG or 14 AWG? Do regular bulbs versus LEDs make a difference in what wire gauge I should use?Thanks!

First, LED lights do draw a fraction of the amperage compared to incandescent lights. But going with either 16 gauge or 14 gauge wire would work. I would say if you use incandescent bulbs then 14 would be the better option and 16 gauge for LED lights.
