What Wire Gauge Should be Used to Install Peterson Trailer Tail Light # 429800
Question:
I was wondering what gauge wire should I use to wire these lights to a utility trailer? This trailer would attach to a 2015 chevy colorado. I would just need to run a 4 flat i believe but I am wondering what gauge wire I would need for these lights?

Trailer light wiring is usually 14 to 18 gauge. But we have 4-Way flat trailer wiring harnesses all ready to go. I have included a link to the options for you. We have some as short as 1 foot long all the way up to the 40 foot long # A40W42B.
