??HID Qestions??

[smokinagn19]

i have a 175watt HID that is about 8in long and 4 in wide (wont fit in a regular sized socket). I have the (ballast) w/the socket it came with and this big ass magnet lookin thing at the back behind the light, and a disc shaped JL-202 PHOTOCONTROLLER that plugs onto the outside of the metal ballast. so my question is what is the magnet lookin thing and what is the photocontroller and can i do without this stuff and just stick with the socket. probably stupid questions but you have to start someware.
