FR-S's stock projectors has a "squirrel finder" that sends light above the cutoff. If you're not bending this closed, you're blinding people with your HID's.
HID's in a halogen projector aren't going to be anywhere near the output of a proper HID projector, but it's much better than a reflector setup. HID has nearly 3 times the output of a halogen bulb, so they can get a wider and fuller beam without losing light. Inversely, a halogen headlight having far less light to work with has to focus the light in a more direct hotspot in front of the car. Adding HID to halogen headlight triples the intensity in those spots (if everything lines up, which it never does as the filament and arc are very different in how they produce light) leading to overpowered foreground lighting and terribly glaring "squirrel finders" that are near the intensity of a normal halogen bulb.
