According to bulb specs, both the stop and tail lights are 7W ea. Even if you're running both on a single 16 ga wire (0.0402 ohms/10ft) the current draw would be 14W/12V = 1.16A; well under 2A. You won't have a problem at 2 or 3 times that (1.16A) current. AND, if you're running one element only as a brake light the stock tail and brake circuits are unchanged anyway. I think you be good either way, if I understand what you're doing.
