Default Headlight question

Is there a way that I can leave my headlight selector in the on position and when I remove the keys from the ignition the headlights turn off? I am not in love with the idea of having to turn my headlights on and off manually.

You can add the auto headlights feature to the '09 to '10. The '11 and up I think you have to have your dealer change some code. Here is the link.

It still can be done. Just need to have dealer program it which finding one may be a issue.

How I ever survived before auto head lamps is a mystery.
