I can't really remember. These are very low-current conductors. One is used just to supply enough current to keep the idiot light on the dash off. I just used the same thickness of wire that was originally attached to the plug, around 10-12 gauge, maybe as small as 14 gauge.

After removing them from inside the plastic channel, I split apart the tape/insulation that was around the two white wires back as far as I could (maybe 12")
There is a point where these wires connect to a larger bundle of another 3 wires.. I Just trimmed them close to the bundle, stripped, twisted and soldered them together and shrink-wrapped the connection. I then wrapped the entire connection (he two spliced wires and the larger bundle) with electrical fusion tape to make it totally isolated and waterproof.
That connection is made between the engine and battery. You can see the approximate location, identified by the yellow circle in the photo. It is tucked down out of the way.
I may take a clear specific photo of its actual location later today and edit this post.
Just come to Reading and take lots of notes and photos. 
Electrically, Here is how the new wiring mod works. Retaining all of the current flow and fuses protection.
