Quick question regarding of spark plug wire set

hitting near the 33,000 miles lines,
I ordered some plugs on amazon to switch them soon

Along with the wire set on a good deal
I ordered one set of wire as shown below

http://www.amazon.com/NGK-ZE81-Spark...gy_auto_text_c


I'm pretty noob at this, and I'm wondering if I need more than a set ?

I got two of each NGK RE7CL and RE9BT with one set of spark plug wire set.

Is it rite?

From what it looks like, a "set" should be 4 wires. But it doesn't clearly say. The wires are different lengths depending on front or rear rotor and leading or trailing. So it does matter.

I too would presume "set" refers to four 'plug cables as the norm, although it doesn't cite.

I found a pic. And looks to have four wires of differing lengths.

Anyone have any experiences with NGK's spark plug wires? Should I replace them every time I change out spark plugs?
