So where do I get the wire from? I'd like to use the same colors as in the factory harness example: the right side marker and right tailights are a shared gray wire w/red tracer on a '72.

I checked the McMasters-Carr site but found doodley poop.

Suggestions?

My best,
Mike D.

If you don't mind the extra hassle of using a single or amybe just a few colors, you can often times find big spools of PTFE insulated silver plated stranded mil-spec wire on ebay.

Its typically used in aircraft and aerospace applications but could easily be used for cars too. New its extremely expensive, but it shows up on ebay peridically.

like this

or this

Still probably important to jacket the teflon wire with sleeving...
