thin wires can only carry small currents, thick ones carry more, so the cross section (thickness) of the wiring "may" give an indication of the sort of current it is expected to draw ....

Is it multistrands in each wire, or a single solid piece of copper. If former, is that 1mm for all the strands combined together?

OK, and that 1mm cross section is all strands combined together, rather than each strand being 1mm?

Worst case, the wiring melts and your car catches fire, then the insurers won't pay out because it's an unnapproved modification to the original design...

Still, not my car ::)
