If they are the same as my 2001, it's not a big deal. They are hiding under
the coil units, which came right off. Be sure to keep it straight which coil is
which, IIRC there are two or three different ones used.
Note that plugs are 100,000 mile service item on my 2001. Are you there yet?

The manual says to change them at 105,000 miles. I'm not quite there
yet, but probably will be in the next year sometimes. I'm guessing
that this job just looks more intimidating than it actually is. It
looks like there is a coil pack for each spark plug. I don't see any
plug wires at all, and I'm not sure what I will see once I remove the
coil pack. I assume there is some type of boot or something that runs
from the coil pack to the spark plug. Thanks again.
