OK, so now that everyone is caught up... here are my thoughts on the conversion vs the real deal. There are some artifacts above the cutoff on the FR-S, but they are much more obvious in the photos than they were to the naked eye. The BRZ also had a similar glow above the cutoff line, but with a less pronounced edge.
Standing about 200 feet in front of the two cars when they were parked side-by-side you couldn't tell the difference in light intensity.
Now, I am not claiming that my car would pass a DOT compliance test, but I would bet that if you didn't tell the officials that it was not a factory HID they would not know.
