Installing Backup Lights
I'm installing 18w LED backup lights that run 1.5 amps each for a total of 3amps. 14ga wire a distance of 30 feet. Do I need a relay?

Check that ad carefully. Many 18-watt lights are manufactured with CREE chips and they use a voltage regulator that allows the same brightness from 10-30 volts.
At 12.0 volts none of the dozens (not an exaggeration) that I purchased drew more than 1.1 amperes. The amperage is rated at 10 volts.
You will do fine with what you propose. I smudge a little silicone grease around the grommet for the wires.
