Default Got my Sonar projection headlights.....hid?

So i bought a pair of chrome housing smoked lensed sonar projector headlights for my SS to replace the hazed and broken factory pieces. I saw on the auction it says that HID's are acceptable but only certain ones. Then when I get them out of the box theres a decal on them that says "HID bulbs not allowed". Can I use HID's with these? And if so what size? Ive emailed the seller but I havent recieved a reply back, and im impatient lol. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

I'm using HIDs on mine. I think the sticker meant on the high beam side.

The sonar projectors use an H1 bulb for the projector. You can use HIDs in them. The no HID is intended to cover the manufacturer. More of a warning if anything. Everyone who has put HIDs in them has had no issues.

Yeah, just use H1 type HID bulb. The rating of the HID is up to you.
