Wire gauge

[Hal436@aol.com]

I met a gentleman at a local club meeting last week who has had extensive 
experience and ownership with Sunbeam Alpines.  I mentioned the fact that my 
panel lights were not too bright and he  mentioned that that was caused by 
the fact that Sunbeam cars were not grounded too well.  He said that he 
overcame this problem by double grounding all of the panel gauges.

Question:  I want to test this and would like to know if lamp wire (16/18 
gauge)  will be adequate for the test ?

Thanks in advance
