Army;

Those labels are OK, because they mean you don't need to refer to Wiring Diagram, I suppose, but I recommend you put some clear heat-shrink tubing over them to 1, protect them, and 2, hold them in place after in a couple of years, the adhesive of the labels looses interest (and grip!).

Also, when replacing wires, increasing gauge/cross-sectional area is certainly OK, but be certain you specify 600V (double thickness from typical 300V) insulation thickness for all automotive work!

Finally, beware of using china trash fuse/relay panels! Critically inspect for things like wire gauge, contact materials quality and workmanship before installing! I'd personally rather use a 50 year old refurbished Volvo FB than some shiny, new, but inferior junk product which will disappoint at the first opportunity! Know thine replacement parts!

Cheers
