Expert Reply:
The Peterson LED Mini Clearance and Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Grommet # M181R that you referenced only draws .04 of an amp. Which means all 20 of them would still only draw .8 of an amp. You could get away with pretty thin gauge wire but I'd probably go with 16 gauge as any thinner gets hard to work with. There'd be no reason not to go thicker though if you felt compelled.
