Just about any size wire will be fine. There's basically NO current here aside from the miniscule amount the lightbulb draws.
Connect + to any hot on the fuseblock, - to any ground, and the light wire to any dash lighting circuit lead.

Hello,

It's pretty idiot proof. There's a pos that goes to switched power on your car, the grounds from the light and the gauge do the obvious, and the brown from the light can splice in with one of your dash lights.

Happy Bricking
