Wiring Questions

Ok, so I am looking to hardwire a 1 to 4 cigarette plug adapter with an on/switch. Im planning on plugging my radar detector and 1 or 2 led lights into. Now my questions are what gauge wire should I be using and what size fuse should I be tapping into. Heres the switch Im planning on using http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062493
Any helps appreciated.

??? 14g should be good any specific reason you want that switch? you could probably hardwire the radar detector just fine and use a smaller one for the leds only

14g should work just fine and the 20 amp fuse should be more than enough power for a radar and some small led's i believe there is only 15 amps coming into the port though.
