If you set the daylight running lights to 'on', the lights will switch off when you remove the key. The downside is you have to have the daylights on, which is a matter of personal choice.

I can't remember the exact sequence but it's in the manual. Something like, turn key to pos II pull flasher stalk while turning lights to sidelight position, then turn key to off.

I've switched mine on a couple of weeks ago as it's getting darker in the mornings/evenings and it saves forgetting to switch them on and off.

You need to remember that when the lights are in daylight dipped beam mode (sidelight position), main beam won't work. - You need to switch to the dipped beam setting, which seems to make no difference to the lights, except the main beam will now work.
