Only a select few carry them, I know a couple sponsors do, they are H4H.

Why would you want to do that to your car? Do you like annoying the crap out of people and getting negative attention from cops?

With the 1-pieces the light output with hids is bad and the light scatters everywhere instead of having a clean line, its just light scattered 10ft in the air (def something you will get pulled over for)

Exactly, and it completly defeates the point of HID's, why not just drive around with your brights on with (insert jdm color here) bulbs and it will look pretty close to the same.

DB1 is a 4 door 90-93 teg right? If so, yes the headlights are the same.

HID's on the stock or one piece's suck because yes you will be lighting up the trees. I just recently put in an HID kit in my one pieces and have been working on getting a retrofit done since I first put them in becuase it looks horrible the way the light goes everywhere. The only way to get the KID's to relly work good in the one pieces would be to do a retrofit with projectors and clear the lens so it doesnt scatter the light(which is what I'm working on).
