The spark plug wires I got are called "8.5mm Super Conductor Wires" and they're made by MSD. Low, low resistance and good EMI shielding, so why not. This picture shows the contents of the box. We have the four wires (don't worry...they're supposed to be different lengths), the wire connector things to keep the wires straight (no, I don't know why there are 3), the spiffy decals that will NOT be going on my car, at least not on the outside...maybe under the hood, and something I don't know what it's used for, but it looks dumb anyway, so whatthefuckever.

Spark plug wires are connected at one end to the spark plugs (the top end), and to the coil packs at the other. I took the coil end off first. Basically, just pull outwards on the part that I'm holding in the picture. If it doesn't come off easily twist it a little bit. MAKE SURE TO ONLY DO ONE WIRE AT A TIME. YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONFUSE WHICH ONE GOES WHERE!

Now, follow the wire whose end you just removed from the coil pack to it's other end. Make sure you have the right wire and pull out the other end. This picture shows what it will look like once it's pulled out. Just pull it straight up and it will pop out of it's housing. Make sure not to pull on the actual wire, but from the boot, the big rubber piece attached to the end of the wire. Next, find the new wire that is the same length as the one you just removed and plug it into place on both ends. Repeat this process for each wire.

After all four wires are connected at both ends, take the wire keeper straight things (the black pieces of plastic) and tie together every two adjacent wires. The final product should look like this. Not bad, eh? Sahhhhweetness.
