Colored spark plug leads

[tmfp]

Do such things exist, with caps, 'boots' and cut to length, straight bolt on job?
Thanks

Have never seen or heard of plug and play sets. There are coloured leads avaialble but you would need to do the work to change them out.
Only other option would be to use coloured heat shrink. The boots would have to stay black unless you can find something to "paint" them with. There is a rubber type product that was designed for dipping hand tools into to give a rubberized coating on the hand grip area. The main thing to watch there would be any coating needs to be electrical resistant to prevent the plugs from miss firing.

Just did a search in the old tech archives using "colored plug wires". Got 32 hits from 2003-2005. Didn't read any of the posts.

Here's a writeup I did on changing out my plug wires a few years back. They seldom, if ever, really need replacing but I did it for the looks more than anything.

Looked over your link, Thank you, now I have an idea how that works.

How about the coil side? It looks like you just unscrew the end of the lead from the coil, but I haven't seen anything that says they are removeable. A picture?

there are no "bolt-on" kits.
u have to cut your own, hardest part is fitting the new wires into the coil ends.

That's right, the cap unscrews and there's a couple pieces near the end of the wire, works almost like a compression fitting. OEM wires are 7mm so if you use that size you won't have to trim the ends to fit in the caps. Likewise, using 7mm makes it easier to remove/install the new wires in the rubber boots. The trick there is to use plenty of alcohol to lube it. They'll slip right off/on, the alky evaporates and doesn't leave a residue. The OEM wires are solid stranded so I used the same thing.
