I only got the OEM (4ga) for replacing the wires because I noticed that they looked fairly corroded. Figured since I'm putting the battery in might as well replace the wires that have been in there for eight years. I also noticed that my right headlight was going on and off last night while driving. Gonna check for a short or loose connection there as well. I'll let you know how it goes....
