Ignition coil vs. spark plug wires...

Based on this video at 4:24, if I replace ignition coils in car, does that mean I do not need to replace the spark plug wires?

Nice. Better than "All Girls Garage" where 2 bimbos watch a fat chick do all the work.
But I digress.
The ///M coils are one piece.
If yours are truly 2 pieces, at 100k miles I would suggest replacing both the coils and the "wires".
You'll be good to go for the next 100k. Save the old parts.
When you get to 200k miles you may decide to "run to fail" and put the originals back in as things fail until you run out.

I love how the camera pans left around the 5:45 mark to make sure her ass is in full view. BTW, I don't think she's a real mechanic because she failed on a couple safety tips. Her hair's not tied up and she's wearing open toe shoes.
