Default Plugs on a 98 S90....

I just recently bought spark plugs( bosch) from Eurosporttuning.com, and i cant seem to figure out how to change them out. I've done plug changes before but never on a volvo. It looks to me like I may have the wrong new plugs, but i ordered the non turbo "bosch platinum +4 plugs" for a 98 S90, any help with all of this mess is greatly appreciated.

Did you remove the black top cover?
Did you remove the coils to gain access to the plugs?

Most likely the injectors.
Yes remove the black cover on the top middle of the motor(T-30 screws)
Then remove the coils there is 6 total to get to the plugs. A 10MM screw holds them on.
