Default can-bus decoder for hid?

Hi all I'm trying to order hid conversion kit from ijdmtoy and they had a regular kit and one with can-bus decoder. Can anybody tell me if I really need the decoder one or can I just go with the regular one? Thank you.

I don't think you need it for the HID kit. Do you have factory HID already? If so, you just need new bulbs. If you got factory halogen, you need the kit. But if i remember correctly, neither needs the decoder.

DRL's need the decoder tho from what i've seen.

The ISX50 does not require Can-bus HID kit. Just the regular (thicker) or slim ballast will be good enough.
