do you have bosch platinum plugs? if so that is your problem.. many people on here have bought aftermarket wires :obx, accell, even nology, and alot of people have had the problem of them popping off with the bosch platinum plugs. i just got rid of the wires.

i think the bosch plugs are just alittle smaller at the tip or shorter. or something. almost everyone who put h/p wires on bosch plugs have had the same problem.. its really embarrasing. i had to zip tie my wires down to keep them on till i got home... it sucked.
