Default Tie Headlights on/off to Ignition

My 2001 doesn't have DRLs, but I like to have my headlights on all the time when I drive. It isn't a big deal to remember to turn them on and off, but is there a simple way to have the headlights come on when the car is on and turn off when its off?

thanks.

I think you have to buy a module from the same company that makes Viper Alarm. I think its DIU or something.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY WIRE THE REMOTE WIRE FROM THE FUSE BOX TO YOUR IGNITION FUSE, BUT THAT IS PRETTY RISKY. I WOULD GO TO YOUR LOCAL CAR SHOP AND ASK IF THEY HAVE ANY ADAPTERS. JMHO

Can find anything like that...

Can anyone elaborate or suggest another option? I guess there is no simple way to just make the headlights get ignition switched power?

You should be able to do it with a few relays and a few diodes.
