You would need at the very least an interface module, about $50-$100 usually used. You could also get a full controller system. It is just a matter of "how wecan" you want to go.

WeCan control point, HHS4200, Sapphire, Carbide, Cantrol, or any Core device will also control WeCan devices.
do these need a special switch panel to operate the lights and controller? as the bar i have now is on regular on/off switches in my over head console i was thinking about the 6 switch panel or would i need the 18 switch panel

If you are trying to leave everything the way that it is, but swapping to a WeCan bar, then you want a WeCan control point. You can program them using Whelens Command software. The Control point just uses input wires, and you can program the bar to do whatever you want depending on what wire, or combination of wires are getting a signal. It will function off of 12v positive triggers.
