What gauge wire should be used to connect the SEGR into the CRD's wiring?

Is it possible to get OEM color coded wiring?

Were did everyone get there wire?

Automotive wire has finer wire strands and can tolerate more vibration than 120 Volt wire. Also the finer strands will carry the amperage at lower voltage. I used 16ga and 18 ga, use a felt tip to rtipe the wire.

I used 18g from the local auto parts store (since Radio Shack and Fry's didn't have any...) and tried to code things according to what they were (black ground, red power, blue, yellow signals. For consistency, I sharpie matched the striping with whatever I was splicing into in the bundle (although there wasn't consistency in the wire bundle there...) Most important is a clean splice, hot iron, good flux, and a tight seal. The spirits will forgive you if the colors don't match perfectly, but it's not worth a perfect match since you need like 8 feet of it and not even a junkyard harness would have that much. They should be inside a plastic wire loom anyway, so the color doesn't matter after it's working :)

Excellent link, and good info - more time and effort involved, but I repaired to the local boneyard and nabbed the correct wire colors and lengths from discarded dejected and derelict DCJ vehicles therein - all the late real DCJ vehicles use the same wire colors for the same tasks: Jeeps, Dodges, Chryslers - I'm not much into blowing my own horn, but see this thread, with pics
