Hey guys. Long time, no post... Anyways, just curious about wire gauges for two things. 1. is for the front parking lights (or the lighting system in general) and 2. is for those who have the Oznium LED flex strips. Also, there was a thread, quite a while back, where someone had the strips running down the tail-lights where the trunk lid meets them, I searched w/ all the conditions I could think of but failed at a return. If someone could please link me, it'd be greatly appreciated as I'm looking to do some (albeit copy-cat, I'll admit it...only cuz I liked how it looked...) lighting mods and would like as much info as I can before I start splicing into wires. Thanks in advanced guys.

Wow...it has been a long time since you were here! Welcome back!

I'm not too sure about the parking lights, but for the Oznium flex strips you don't need anything heavier than 18GA. I'm assuming you'll only be using the 12" strips for running lights in the front as well as in the back? If so, the current draw isn't very much, so 18-20GA will suit you just fine.
