Hid reverse wiring
so im been trying to figure out wiring guage size. im going to run a set of hid reverse light and would like to know what gauge of wire i should use for my constant 12v. it will run from the front of the car to the trunk where the reverse lights are at. from what i read, hid kit takes 30amp to start up.

30 amps WTF.
the usual is 6 amps start-up and 4 running.
14 is fine 16 is good. i would do 14 tho. read the ballast. it should tell you starting amps and running amps i believe.

thanks for all the reply guys
rodney has it right. the ballast does take 6 amp each and maybe a little more. would it be safe to do it in 12 gauge wire? i have a spool of those at home. also rodney i believe you have hid rear also right?

I so want to do this mod but thinking of having to run a wire from the battery all the way back is keeping me from doing it. do you have to take a lot of the interior parts off to acomplish this? Anyone in houston willing to help
