Did you look at your service manual for colors and number of wires?

You could always just cut the wires and extend them with all one color.

I don't know what wires you are cutting - LOL!!

Seriously, just take some different gauge wires that you have on hand and eyeball it to find the right gauge. A size or two bigger is alright but don't go smaller.

Im cutting the wires to the two front turn signals..

I would like to section in with the same gauge.. Im sure I have 12 and 14.. but not 16 or 18.. so before I buy some, Im wondering if its 16 or 18

Typically you will have 3-wires Black (Ground) Blur (running Lights) Brown (Right turn) Violet (Left turn). wire gauge 18 AWG TXL wire. If you give me the year and model I can tell you exactly what you have.

2013 FLS. Front Turn signal Lighting runs to one 6-pin connector. [Main Harness Side] Pins 1 & 6 are Black (Ground) Pin 2 Blue with Orange stripe (Right front Turn signal) Pin 3 & 4 are Blur (Running Lights) and pin 5 Blue with Pink stripe (Left front Turn Signal).

The Turn Signal side is what I told you earlier.

The wire gauge is 18 AWG.

Hope this helps.
