Just about any size wire will work, but just to throw a number out there- just use 18 gauge wire. Any style fuse will be fine. Just pick something that's easy to tuck out of the way.

Good idea when wiring any accessory in your car, to a fuse and a switch. and make sure you have a good ground.

shit i wouldn't even use a fuse on them. I mean my fogs that i made are 5000MCD by 12 by 2 and i don't even have them fused. Those pisser lights are like 1000mcd and theres only one on each wire. But as always make sure your grounded good.

Run the wires through your fire wall and connect them to the fuse panel for the headlights or running lights. That away when you turn your headlights on they will light up. You may have to extend the wires a bit so they will reach to the fuse panel. For your ground you can either run the wires to the battery ground or to the frame of the car. Make sure its a good ground or they will not work.

its better to wire them to a switch. depending on the color and what state those lights may be illegal so you dont want them on the same time your headlights are on.
