going to start redoing my wiring for the brake lights and just wanted to make sure of the gauge that was needed to do it right. and is there anything that i should know about before jumping in because the previous owner has this stuff all messed up and still couldn't get it to work properly. online diagrams maybe? thanks in advance

Well it should be 16 gauge but I would use 14 gauge.

You can buy 4, 5,6 wire insulated wire loom from electronic stores for under-carriage use.
It makes for a much neater install and protects against the elements.

You can find diagrams on the autozone site in the repair section.
