BRZ HIDs vs FR-S HID Conversion

OK, so a few of us got into a pretty heated debate over the safety of converting halogen projectors to aftermarket HID bulbs. I decided to take a few photos tonight with my FR-S and dvsidboy's BRZ. Let the debate continue.

Now there is one thing that I want to point out before we get too carried away. The HID bulb in the BRZ has a dial-selectable height adjustment that the driver can change from inside the car. The photos where we are projecting onto the wall were set to the "0" setting while the photos that are projecting into the parking lot were on the "3" setting which aims the lights down so they don't project as far.

The lights in my FR-S are aimed according to standard procedure, which is detailed in many places. Here is one example:
