i would have thought it possible; cost you an arm, leg and several internal organs though!

best bet is to try Ebay and even German Ebay

you can get an OEM kit from

http://www.tmtuning.com/vw/ > lighting > golf 5

$1599 which given out current exchange rate is a really good price.  pretty sure these will however be illegal

Teutonic_Tamer knows his stuff on the legality of xenons so you might want to drop him a PM

Generally considered not worth the cost after market if you want them legal.

You need headlights, blasters, bits of suspension, headlight washers etc.....

If you read all the posts, you'll see that you by law Xenons need auto leveling and headlamp washers, which are hard or near inpossible to retro fit.

TT, come to the rescue!
