Can Hot-Line LED Third Brake Light # 328-003-6017X Connect to Copper Wiring

Question:

I see the below listed part appears to have aluminum wires. My trailer wire is copper. Wont there be a potential fire hazard mixing aluminum and copper stranded wire due to different expansion heating rates? Hot-Line LED Third Brake Trailer Light Bar w/ Reflector - Stop, Turn, Tail - Submersible - Red Lens Item # 328-003-6017X

There would be no issue connecting the aluminum wires of the Hot-Line LED Third Brake Light # 328-003-6017X to copper wiring. This draws such a low amount of amperage to operate that there would be no heat created.
