Serious problems in ignition and plug wires

Dear All

My spark plug wires are having flashes in night (maybe short) and their is a whinning noise also comming from them. Ignition is also becoming weak because car takes 2-3 selfs to start, car is not going beyond 80km/hr even on petrol ( previously goes up to 150km/hr).The battery dischrges in 12 -13 hours.

new plug wires are quoted from honda for 3,5oo Rs., are they worth it ?, do I need to change the spark plugs also.

Does Bosch ignition coil make any difference, is there any performance gain because of ignition after the car starts.

Should I buy NGK laser iridium or Denso IW16 performance plug, performance wires or Bosch igniton.

From where can I buy those stuff new or used at a reasonable price, Plaza , Tariq road or Shershah.

any price estimate.

there is no way out of buying the genuine plug wires from honda showroom for Rs 3500 or more. i have a honda city 2001, the same problem was with me in 2004, i bought plug wires for Rs 1200 and after 4 months the same problem of sparking when look at it at night,so i bought it from honda for Rs 4000. they worked fine for 4 years and now again the same problem. i got it checked and they told me to replace the plug wires, so again i will buy it from honda as non genuine plug wires dont last long enough, with original wires the car is trouble free for many years and the performance is good too.
