I'm putting in that keyless entry system, where i'm putting the box for the system doesn't let the wiring harness reach. I was going to get some wire, but the wire has some sort of metric measurements. I don't know much about the guage numbers, but on the wires have 0.5mm^2 (millimeters squared) and one the hot wire it has 0.75mm^2. How can I figure out what this is in a guage measurement. Also, if I have to use a bigger wire than what comes with the kit will that hurt anything?
