So, what you are trying to achieve is to install a rheosat with your HID?
Yes with my factory installed OEM HIDs

I wonder if splicing into the leveler rheostat harness from the rear of the car would do what you intend. The AFS system relies on that level sensor to determine the height of the HID's
Doesn't seem like anybody has done this yet. Maybe I will give it a shot at some point.
If anyone or any company were to send me a rheostat id be more than happy to write up a DIY and detailed review
The leveling motors for the OEM bi-xenon housings are controlled by several components. Retrofitting just the housings and ballasts is relatively inexpensive, but getting the automatic leveling to function gets very pricey very quickly.
To get any function out of the xenon motors, you need the AFS module that mounts underneath your glove box. That facilitates the communication between the CECM and the level sensor. Usually the level sensor is mounted on the rear wheel, but I suppose you could accomplish the same task with a manual dial if you're good with circuits. You also need a power module to mount next to the ballast underneath each headlight assembly. (ECS sells them).
Here's a writeup by someone who retrofitted all of the autoleveling components. http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46536
