What is the Wire Gauge Size for Optronics Uni-Lite LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights
Question:
I am just wondering what gauge the wire coming from the pig tails are since I cannot seem to find an answer? Just trying to purchase the right new wire to connect to them for my trailer re wire project. Thanks

The gauge wire used for the Uni-Lite LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL11AB and Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet # MCL11RKB is 18.
To account for the loss of power over the distance of the trailer we recommend using 16 Gauge Wire # 16-1-1 and Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 for the installation.
