i am a soldering n00b. I have a front and rear light with relatively short cables. What cable do I need to solder them together? Ordered a soldering iron, a stand and a cable holder.

Why not crimp?

@Hulsroy did a cable replacement I think, so might know what sort of cable to buy to splice in

I can teach you soldering via WhatsApp video tutorials if you fancy!?

Just got a load of these I am going to use on my all road dynamo set up. It is samme issue you have with slightly short cables. So I am going to put these inline and extend the cables that way. https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-PAIRS-RC-2mm-Gold-Bullet-Connector-Heat-Shrink-Lipo-Battery-ESC-Motor-/281784986980?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Does the soldering iron have variable temperature?

I used some thin coaxial cable on mine, about 3mm diameter. Don't forget to buy some heatshrink too.
