it is advisable to replace plugs whenever you carry out service,however if the vehicle is not such a work horse and has not shown any signs of power loss or mis firing,you can have them cleaned of any carbon deposits after which you must replace them at the next service.As for wires,the need should arise when they show signs of wear.Good handling of wires especially when changing plugs can make them last a very long time.Eddy
