Total noob Q.
Bought a fog light harness kit with all the nessery wires etc, however the wires that connect to the lights are to short. I need to ad more length.
Is it possible to join 15amp wire(what i already have found in the shed.) to the 10amp wire to the harness?
Or should i just buy 10 amp wire?
joining wires of different amps?

It'll be right - as long as the draw from the fog lights (or whatever your running) is less than what the wire is rated at.
2002 Outback - it's gone...

Upping the size is ok, in fact in some cases excellent. Going the other way can have disastrous consequences.
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.
MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.
