im sure 16 will work great, depends how much power you want to use

 

use whatever gauge wire the fog lights you buy are currently using, maybe go alittle bigger if you want to go crazy.

main problem with using the reverse wire to power your aux backup lights are that the stock reverse wires are verry verry small, and the size wire that the aux backup lights lights use are like 3 sizes bigger then the stock reverse wire, thats another reason the lights are so dim, is these tiny little wires are trying to feed these big fat wires that come with the aux lights, and its just notthick enough to.

 

doug got your pm, i hate the pm system ill answer all questions here if you'd like.

my lights are rated for 55 watts just as yours are.

 

also doug let me say im not trying to be rude, or **** on your lights, you did a very clean and professional install, im just trying to help you get the maximum light output form them, and not destroy your reverse ight circuit.

 

no problem. nice lights. i'll see about it.

 

I'm gonna do that one of these days as well. I've had the lights for a few years now just never put them on lol. Its actually a good thing cause when I installed my duals the tips came out where I was plaining on mounting my lights. Might not sould like a big deal but I have to weld my brackets to my hitch so that would have been a issue. Thats another reason they ain't on there yet my welding skills need some improving. I'd wiring mine up to a switch. I like the idea of being able to flip a switch and have lights and not have to have my truck in reverse

 

When I can get a dry afternoon... I plan on doing something similar, but using a slightly different implementation.I plan on installing a disable switch as well as a on switch so they can turn on when I am not in reverse.

 

my lights are the whitenights, they have a built in switch, a 3 way, one position is on, one is always off, one is only on when in reverse.

 

how did u manage to wire that up with the three way and where did u get your lights

 

these are the lights i have, they are the best i have had, and i have tried a bunch of diffrent lights.
