Aux lites to the roof rack as follows #1 & #5 will be 100w Halogen,--#s 2,3,4 will be 55w Halogen----#10ga Wire will be from continues solenoid to all lamps separated by 2 switches ----Question is will 14ga wire be sufficient enough to ground all lamps wired in series ?

A good rule of thumb is to use the same size ground wire, as you are using power wire.................It will carry the same amount of current.
