jsut use the same guage wire as the stock stuff..... probably around 18 guage

i used 16 gauge i think, it was what ever was laying around, a switch with two different on positions, and some female spade connectors, after wiring i can use both speeds of the wiper motor with no problems and used the spade connectors to plug into the factory wiring so i can reverse it if i ever want to
