>Drawing too much current from a wire is asking for trouble. Depends ALOT on the application whether splicing is acceptable or not. For example, if you are splicing into the base of the power transistor so you can get a signal for your aftermarket tach. It is a very low current area. However, if you plan on adding additional auxiliary lights in parallel to that of the existing system. You will lower the overall resistance of the circuit and perhaps even draw enough current to pop a few fuses, char some wire or at worst burn the car to a crisp. So, the lesson to be learned? Know what you're doing. If you arn't sure. Ask the list members. Don't use wire too small for the application. Use relays when working with lotsa current. Solder wires and shrink wrap the solder joints so it doesn't short out on the chassis of the car. Avoid using crimp connectors whenever possible. If you start dealing with harnesses, get yourself a pin extractor tool. You can make custom wiring harnesses that look pretty much stock without a rats nest behind the dash.
