Electricians? High voltage mulitstrand 16ga wire (3K, V.)

[JOHNBIGDOG]

Also posted in the auto section, but figured that I may catch some electricians here:

I bought a HID kit for my Motorcycle. I cannot mount the ballasts near the lamps because of a lack of space so I need extend the wire about 6 feet for 2 bulbs.

So What I am looking for is 12 feet of Black and 12 Feet of red, or two colors in general, in 16 gauge that is meant to carry 3000 volts safely. I was going to use 12v auto primary wire, but after some though was concerned that that voltage may be able to leak through the thin insulation of the wire.

I hate purchasing something over the net when I honestly don't know what I am looking for. Does anyone Know of somewhere that I could find, or ask in the metro area or the Iron Range?

I know that L&M sells wire by the foot. I am just not sure they will have that small of gauge. I bought 8 gauge so I could keep my batteries in the bow and ran them to the back of the boat.

The wire that we Typically use is rated for 600volts and under. We do use 5000volt stuff for the runway lights but it it very stiff and has heavy insulation. Why not just put a couple of extension kits together to get the required length you need?
