Main Beam On When Unlocking Car

Like on many new cars, its a pretty neat feature when the main beam lights come on when you unlock the car.

I know the fiesta parking lights come on when unlocking so its halfway there.

But has anybody wired them up so that the main beam come on aswell as the parking lights (side lights).

Thanks

    Surely you mean dipped? Main beam would be dangerous I'd think.

    I'm not sure if it's controlled through the wiring, or through the ECU, if it's just wiring it should be easy to change.

    It'd be a nice feature, so hopefully someone here knows a bit more info :)

    Sorry i did mean dipped beam, I didnt mean high beam :)

    But yes, as i have HIDS's fitted it would be a nice feature if they came on when unlocking, just like the new vauxhalls do.

    Is this just a preference thing? I haven't noticed anything untoward about the sidelights on unlocking
