It's not about being tough or harsh, it's about safety. You may not be able to tell from behind the lights, even seeing how they hit on a white garage door, but improper reflectance of the HID source is dangerous to other drivers b/c of scatter.
Now, I applaud your for wanting HIDs. They're awesome and since I had them in my STI, I'll never go back to incandescent halogens for low beams again. EVER.
But, unfortunately scion skimped on the options that the GT86 can have, and you're stuck with crappy, dim, yellow halogens from the factory.
So, the solution is to get HID lights, not just a conversion kit. The Ten series comes with HIDs, so get the OEM ten series HID headlights and squirrel finder.
More expensive? Yes. Proper and safe? Absolutely.
Light can be a weapon (ask any good cop and take a look at their surefire or streamlight tac light and have them shine it in your face), and our headlights have to be bright for us to see the road. Improperly diffused, that light can blind and distract other drivers. It's like suddently putting eye shades on a driver while he's driving a complicated, high speed course.
Same reason why it's so bad to leave your high beams on when on a two lane road and there's an oncoming car in the other lane: light blinding.
Don't do it.
