first off, there are no spark plug wires.. our engines use coilpacks. first thing to do is remove the black cover that says Honda or Honda Vtec which sits on top of your valve cover. From there you will see the coil packs. there will be 4 of them. each one is bolted down with a small black bolt on the corner of each pack. loosen each one and disconnect the plugs attached to the packs and pull it out. Now you will need a socket wrench, extension adapter and a spark plug socket. attach the socket to the extension and attach the extension to the socket wrench. remove the old spark plugs and replace with new ones. Torque down to stock specs. Now, put everything back on in reverse order. hope this helps, its pretty straight forward.

We don't have spark plug wires.
We have direction ignition or something like that.

There are 4 black pieces right below the valve cover (the thing that says HONDA or HONDA VTEC)
EDIT: Might have to remove the cover like ^^ said.

Unbolt the black screw holding it down and take it off. (4x)
Take off sparkplug. (4x)
Put a little bit if anti-seize on the thread of the new plugs (optional).
Intall the new sparkplugs.
Torque to specs recommended on box or what Honda says.
I think it was 10-12ft/lbs but I'm not 100% sure.
