Icon2 Angel eyes = no hid bulbs?

A few weeks back i got a set of angle eyes for my 94 civic as you can see to the left. However there is a sticker on both lights saying h.i.d bulbs not allowed? why is this? I wud like to have h.i.ds cause day look the part. do h.i.ds got much hotter than standard bulbs or somthing? do you think i would get away with h.i.ds and not destroy the headlights?

it's probably just because of the beam pattern. you might have to modify the housing a bit but i don't think it should be too much of a problem

Its says that on the hi beam portion of the headlight. HID's do not burn hotter. Used hid kits in the same headlights and it worked fine. Do a retro though and save oncoming traffic.
