Because they are projectors, not HID lamps. BMW (for the Xenon question) uses a bi-Xenon HID system on the newer models....meaning the HID lamp has a filter to act as a Hi/lo beam. Projector lamps are simple an improved design to disperse light from standard bulbs. A perfect example is the mid-late 90's Acura Integra headlights.
