Lightbulb Do Low & Fog HIDs need the CANBUS fix?

I'll be purchasing these HIDs for my Lowbeams and Fog lights (not worried about high beams so I'm not getting bi-xenon):

When I inquired about any additional hardware I might need for a 2007 Jeep Wrangler, the support asked if I had Daytime Running Lights. Since I've only had my JK for a few days now, I haven't had a chance to stand in front of it during the day to find out.

He said if it did in fact have DRLs I would need this CANBUS Fix:

Is this something I need, and if it is, do I need one for the regular lows AND one for the fog lights?

My 07 does not have the running lights. And the low beam circuit is "relay trigger" friendly.
