It's safe to go to a bigger wire(lower guage), but not always the other way around.

You'd be fine running 16 guage instead of 18.

As for me, everything in my car is white aviation-style wires, lol, it gets confusing sometimes. :lol: :seeya

Well, exactly, I really wanted to keep the important wires the original color for simplicity's sake. Thanks for the help!
