REFLECTOR: Position Light Wires

[Dave Philipsen]

If your position lights are just simple incandescent lamps then I don't 
see any reason to use shielded wires.  If there were some sort of 
switching or AC current then that would make a case for shielded 
cables.  But straight DC current going into a strictly resistive load 
like an incandescent bulb doesn't need shielding and will not cause 
interference with your radio.
