I'm with Dean. My van is the only gasoline powered vehicle I own, so I only need the one NOID light for troubleshooting and I, too, am reluctant to buy a whole set. Does anyone know of a source to buy just the one NOID light for the WBX?
Also, some of the kits contain something called an IAC tester. Do we need this?
