Replacing spark plug wires

Would like to do this before I leave for our MO to VA trip next Thursday. I know this has to have been asked before; but I'm not finding the exact information, and I'd rather run the risk of having someone say "Look here n00b" as opposed to running the risk of hosing up my engine.

I've got the Denso wires ordered and they will be here today - the ones that go from the COPs themselves to the driver's side spark plugs. (Denso 671-6182) I am, however, unsure as to what else needs to be replaced if I want to do 'both sides.' Does doing both sides equate to doing the COPs on the passenger side, as well as more wires?

Just did mine yesterday with Toyota parts and the Toyota version has three wires. One end of each wire has the spark plug boot for the drivers side plugs. The other end plugs into the electronic module on top of the plugs on the passenger side. The boot for that side is part of the electronic module. As long as the Denso ones have the "cap" for the passenger side you should be OK
 
You're fine, 3 wires is a full set for these. They run from the coil pack on the passenger side to the actual plug on the drivers side. The reason it's only 3 is that the "electronic module" referred to above is actually the coil pack. The coil packs plug directly into the spark plugs on the passenger side.
 
Right, I figured that part out; and I've also read enough to know that unless it's running rough (which it isn't) you don't really need to replace the coil packs. However, I figured that if I'm replacing the spark plugs, I may as well go ahead and get the wires replaced as well.
