Led Light Wiring Help

I purchased 16 awg wire to extend the wires from the pods to the wiring harness and just realized it's slightly thicker than the led pod wires. I already cut into the wires I purchased so I can't return them and would rather not make another trip to Home Depot. Does anyone know if it's safe to use different wire sizes in this case?

Thanks!

 

You're fine, going to a bigger wire is better than going smaller.

 

Completely fine going from 18 to 16 gauge

I did it for my rear pods. 4 years later, no problems

 

You all were right! Thank you!
