labelling wires.

[Skyliner33]

OK, as my electrics get a bit more complicated (ie I've disconnected mt tailgate lights and cant remember which wires) I've decided I need to start labelling them.

So what method do you use, apart from masking tape and a pen/pencil? Is there a decent machine at a reasonable price?

Thanks

White electrical tape and a black sharpie is the cheapest and easiest.
