What kind of wire to use for fog lights?
Run the 12 guage wire to your external mounted light (s). May have to to drill a small hole with rubber grommet into the fire wall. Or, hopefully use an existing firewall hole. By using “self grounding” lights, one only needs 1 x 12 guage wire to the light. If needed, use a “Y” connection between both lights.
