2x400w lights = 6.6amps and 14 gauge is only good up to 5.9 amps for continuous power transmission.
I would invest in some new / safer wiring.

Pretty sure 14g is rated for 15 amps. 14 g wire should be fine for two 400w lights. Actually, here in Canada its code to load it up to 12 amps, but its rated for 15.
