Yes, in fact, that's exactly what the BMW E36/E39 
ones at the top of that page are. They also have 
the automatic levelers required by ECE regulations.

Note that the ones for BMW E34 and VW at the 
bottom of the page are "not E-approved." But, 
it's not clear that those are even HIDs. That 
site confusingly calls everything "xenon." Xenon 
gas can be found in either HID or halogen bulbs.
