Default HIDs on projector headlights?

Can I put HID kit on a my low beam headlights. I have these projector headlights : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW
They are H1 bulbs.
And im planning to get these HID kit : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...h=022

I have seen a couple of people w/ HID on their projectors, but on the side of my headlights, theres a sticker that states "HID balb not allowed" (yes it was spelled balb) Im not sure if its stating for the high beam or low beam or either one. The stick is on the high beam side. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I am guessing OEM light housing, dremmel it, and insert S2000 or TSX projector. Keep it all OEM HONDA!!!

My HID's were a direct fit, no mods needed, plug and play

Because you aren't using projectors?

Pnp HID kits

the problem with throwing an hid bulb into your projector is, there will not likely be a cut off. Like others have stated, find some oem ones and retrofit them into those. I did this only i used my stock headlights. If there is a cut off, then my guess would be heat.
