3rd brake light size wiring

[AnthonyR23]

Hey I just got a Saleen style wing for my 88 gt convertible.. used... it didn't come with the 3rd brake light.. I took off my old 3rd brake light and louver things like the ones that came with the stock 88 gt's. Anyways I am pretty sure I can use the same wiring... cause I left it in place just cut and taped up the wires.. anyone know where I can find the saleen light for that wing.. can't find it online.. its not the same size as the stock third brake light.. looks bigger... ??

They use 87-93 GT brake lights


wiring size doesn't matter. Doesn't really draw a whole hell of a lot. I think i used speaker wire inside my wing

Wire size current table:
18 gauge wire = 5-8 amps
16 gauge wire = 10-12 amps
14 gauge wire = 15-17 amps
12 gauge wire = 20-25 amps
10 gauge wire = 30-40 amps
8 gauge wire = 50-60 amps.

Many automotive bulbs are rated in watts. Divide watts by 12 volts to get the amps.

Example: 24 watt bulb: 24/12= 2 amps
