The wiring diagram indicate the wire is 0.5mm^2. That converts to 20AWG.
This wire only needs to provide ground for a 2W bulb.

20 AWG, way to small, probably closer to 16. When I rewire, I usually just get 14, and go with it.


But wouldn't the 14 gauge wire cost like 2 cents more?

Quick question: what's the gauge of the wire coming off the oil pressure indicator switch?
