Need help with HID components!!!

I've recently acquired a 2006 E350 base sedan. I want to change out the halogen low beams and fog lights for HIDs. I've ordered two HID kits, both 35 watts with CANBUS ballasts. Here's where I am getting lost. Do I need to order warning cancellers?

No. As long as you're not ordering a cheap set for $40 off eBay, you should be fine. Most good kits will have them built in.

Thank you. I actually went back to the order and re-read the description of the product. On there it says that the cancellers are already built in.
