That is correct. See

Liep over at http://www.hidretro.com can put together a good and durable
retrofit of HID optics into stock RSX headlamps. You don't say what
country you're in. In Europe and many other countries, HID headlamps are
only legal if the car's equipped with headlamp lens cleaners and a
headlamp self-levelling system. No such requirements exist in North
America.

If you put HID bulbs into an optic designed to take halogen bulbs, that is
exactly what will happen.

Sylvania Silverstar is junk as far as seeing and durability are concerned.
What's your goal? Better seeing, or "bling bling" appearance?
