Spoiler LED Wire type
 

What type of wire do you suggest using for wiring up the LED light on the spoiler? I need to solder a new wire on since the "OEM" LED wire was so thin that it would melt. Can I use copper speaker wire?

how do you know it would melt? how much current is it conducting?

Uh, it COULD be due to the fact that he reverse connections earlier this
month and blew a fuse. Then, after reconnecting it properly (he says),
he had still more problems.

Frankly, while I believe everyone should learn how to do this simple
stuff, I'm glad he's "learning" on his own vehicle and not someone
else's. I hope that's the case anyway.

Search back on his posts. The best recommendation for him MIGHT be to
find somebody who knows what they're doing and have them do it for him/her.

Well it melted twice now.

how much current is it conducting?

That, I am not sure about but it could be 12v.

Well the Honda dealer would not touch it since it is an after market
spoiler. I also feel that the guy did not know anything since he had little
words. I think he was new.

All I am asking about are wire types or why this thin LED light wire keeps
melting. Right now I bought some in-line fuses to see what happens next.
After that I will not have any wire left to try it once more. Could wire
length have anything to do with it? This wire was very long.
