Has anyone installed new Battery Terminals?

I was looking at getting some new battery terminals. I have 3 sets of aftermarket lights and an amp and I wanted to clean things up. Has anyone done this? If so can I see some pictures.

I use brass battery bolt extenders and they look fine and work great.

Re: Has anyone installed new Battery Terminals?

I've seen it before too, but want to do the same. right now, it looks like someone spilled spaghetti on my positive terminal (winch, amp, offroad lights... not to mention the factory nonsense...). Someone must have pics!

Install a couple of single post terminals like the ones pictured above to a strategically convenient area for your other cables to terminate. The drivers side fender well is a good area. Then connect them to your pos. and neg. with 2-4 ga. cable and your all set.
