You can use Magnacors on the 96 and 97-98 model 1MZ-FE ES300.

I think Ive seen some Vitek wires for a 96 atleast. All kinds of colors. What I want to is what manufacturer has the EXACT same yellow as the Akimoto vacuum hose kit. My battery is already annoying enough.

I'm confused, My 95" Es300 has separate coil packs for each of the six cylinders. The only wires going to each spark plug are the two primary wires, as the secondary high tension wires are eliminated. Please explain.....

Yeah, since you have 6 coilpacks, you cannot upgrade the wiring. The Magnacor plug wires are only available for the 1MZ-FE models from 96 on up. Since the 96-01 1MZ uses only 3 coilpacks, the front 3 are direct where as the rear bank piggybacks off the front 3. So really, you have only 3 wires that lead to the rear.
