Default gauge fitting wire requirements

Hi guys
Fitting some gauges in my car..
The packaging states to use 18 gauge wire, and I have some 5amp 2.5mm max 60 watts wire already here.. will this be ok for this application? I assume the gauges shouldn't draw more than 5amp but would like Confirmation!
Thanks for your help

Far too thick, buy some from a car shop.

Gauges unlikely to draw an Amp between 'em.
