I used 16 gauge ground wire from each headlight bucket, and connected both of them to the fire wall, directly on top of the battery to cab ground. My question is, is 16 gauge wire heavy enough for headlight bucket grounds? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 5,862 Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT | | Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 5,862 | G-Town, See info in thread linked below. All info there says '56 headlight ground wire (should be same as '59) was originally black 20 gauge. 16 gauge is more than necessary. https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=993512&page=allHope this is helpful.
