Default A3 Alarm - How tpo get headlights to come on?

I have a 2004 new shape Audi A3 2.0FSi Sport, which is just great. A friend of mine with a new shape Golf, has a feature on his alarm that I was wondering if it would be a simple modification on my standard factory fitted Audi alarm.

When he deactivated the alarm the the main headlights came on, like on my dad's merc - which looks pretty cool. Does anyone know if this a relatively simple and cheap alteration to my alarm to have this feature???

Thanks

I think it's called the "coming home/ leaving home" feature.
There is a small button below the light switch. Turn it on and every time you open or close the car with the remote the lights will come on for about a minute.
It's also in the manual (that's how I learned about it).

Ah - I don't have this switch on mine. Is this the only way to get them to come on with the alarm key fob?

I'm not sure about factory...but if you go aftermarket you could add an alarm with an upgrade (to make it worth your while) like remote start and then you could get the feature to have your lights blink
