Well yes but the entire headlight assembly would have to be changed (wreckers?) as the I believe the projector optics are different (designed to avoid glare to oncoming traffic) then the perhaps more difficult thing is that to be legal you will also need the headlight washers that are integrated into the bumper bar.
Please do not just use a HID bulb upgrade. I would not want to be coming the other way even if you are on low beam.
You might consider a higher power / more efficient quartz bulb but do not consider the "blue light" bulbs. They do not throw as much light as the normal bulb colour.
Next check that your headlights are aligned correctly. This can make a huge difference.
Yes the HID headlights are bloody marvelous and I would not have a car without them now I have used them and so I can understand the desire for the upgrade but do it carefully please.
