It is likely possible, but why in the world would you want to? If going through all the work, adaptive is the best part about them.. you can throw in some cheap aftermarket ballasts and xenon bulbs to your existing headlights if all you want is xenon. .
The reason why is because
1) i dont care for adaptive, i mostly drive on the freeways so i do not need to bee around corners that much.

2) to retrofit adaptive xenons i will need to install sensors on my control arms and run wires thru the car to the computer and its a lot of work.

3) i dont want to just put a hid kit into a halogen reflector, light goes everywhere
