Lights and turn signals, are usually 18 gauge in size. Others may be 16 gauge, with some as large as 12 gauge(depending on the circuit) Battery cables(due to their size) are usually 8 gauge, but for better current flow, maybe 6 gauge.

Go to www.easternbeaver.com for connectors and other wiring needs.
