Default I cant seem to find the right spark plug coils for my H23A

Hey guys, i have a 01 prelude with h23a swap. But i cant seem to find the right sparkplug wires to fit. All the wires i get are either too short and dont reach the spark plug or to thick and dont fit in the hole. The dizzy is internal coil so its only 4 plugs. Some forums said to i probally need integra or civic coils but that didnt work either. So now im stuck. 1 of the plugs going into the dizzy is basically snapped in half due to corosion. So sometimes it misfires and sounds something like a backfire in idle. Its just popping while in idle. Not sure if the popping is related to the coil or gas/air ratio. The car pushes nd the engine seems pretty healthy just the coil is annoying the **** outta me. Thanks

Wrong ecu/map?

Did you rebuild your engine when you changed it?

You don't use coils you use wires.

Yes i know you dont use coils. But the actual coil part of the plug is either too short or too thick 2 fit into the valve cover. I will try the H22 plugs again and see how it works out

you keep using the plural form of the words "coil" and "wire" so it looks weird

there is only one ignition coil and ignition coil wire for the car

Hello there fellow lude dudes. i just bought a 97 prelude base model. i have been having a few problems with it including overheating, and i believe my transmission is either slipping or the clutch is going out. the car is in decent shape for being 20 years old but there are definitely some modifcations that have to be done to it. NOW WHAT I AM WORKING ON TODAY IS MY FOG LIGHTS. my fog light switch in the car wont even stay clicked in. when i hold it in the light on the button lights up but it wont stay pressed in. also, the fog lights wont come on what so ever. im not sure if there is a short in the circuit or if the bulbs are bad,. i am assuming the bulbs are out so i went and bought the replica bulbs(h3) and im not sure how to install them.. can anyone give me some pointers?? thanks !
