No it can't. The headlamp type - and switching method - is burned into the CEM at manufacture and cannot be changed after - not by VIDA or VDASH.

HID lamps running on a CEM set up for halogen tend to flicker, cycle off and and on or not work at all.

If you must, your best chance is to install a 55 watt dummy load and a relay from another live. Someone on here has done that on an XC90 but I remember thinking it was a hell of an effort....
