Ignition: L1, L2, T1, T2, which goes where?

I changed my sparkplugs today, and now when I start the car the check engine light comes on. It seems to run, but I have a two hour drive ahead of me tonight and don't want to get stranded. I have tried switching the spark plug wires around, disconnecting the battery each time to reset the ecu, but the light comes on each time. So anyone have any ideas, and which rotor housing do L1 and T1 go to, and which housing do L2 and T2 go to.

Please help!

Front housing is #1 and rear is #2. Leading is Lower hole and Trailing is Top hole.

Ex. L2 = Rear Lower hole.

Even if the plugs are connected wrong, this won't cause the CEL to come on. Something else is wrong. You need to check the ECU error codes to find out what:
