I’m not sure what kinda power the lights can take but I don’t think 4 D cells would kill them so just wire all 4 in series to the battery pack. Wire gauge shouldn’t matter, standard radioshack hook up wire will work fine(18-22 gauge range). You’ll probably want an on/off switch on it as well.

If you plug it all together and the lights are dim then rewire it so they’re all in parallel instead. If that’s greek to you just LMK and i’ll draw you a diagram. 🆒
