RTV-X1100 wiring question

[East30]

I'm planing to install a light bar to replace my forward facing fog lamps on top of the cab. I plan to move those lamps to the rear of the cab. Wiring is in place for one rear-facing lamp, but not two. Do I use 14 or 16 ga wiring to extend to the second light? Thank you.

You need to provide more particulars on the relocated lights. Bulb wattage is the info.
Remember, adding a second light also doubles the current flow through the existing wiring and switch which may or may not tolerate the doubling of the current. I assume you are removing an existing lamp to make room for the two rear lights. Provide info on the original lamp.

They came standard on the Kubota. The kit to add a light is K7731-99630. Struggling to find information on detail of the lights themselves. When I bought the second switch for the rear, the dealership they said the just splice wires into the existing harness to the second location,and I didn't think to ask what gauge, now closed till Monday.

You cannot go wrong using the 14 gauge wire.
