Is there a way to wire out headlights to turn on when unlocking doors?

I'm just wondering if it is possible to wire our lights to turn on when we unlock the doors with keyless entry? For example, on the Acura TL's and CL's when you leave your lights on and lock the doors, the headlight will turn off after set amount of time. When you return to your car and unlock the doors with your remote, the headlights will come back on. It's kinda a cool feature when you unlock your doors before you get to your car and your headlights come on and it freaks people out in front of your car.

if you have an alarm on ur car i am almost certain (depending on ur alarm) that u can have ur headlights hooked on to it
i was actually thinkin about taking my car back to the shop i got my alarm and seeing if he can do it to my car
we just got it done on a 02 exdition so it is possible

if you have a aftermarket alarm you wouldnt need much work to do it ... its called Dome light supervision on the alarm . you can hook that up using a relay or 2 and bang you can when you unlock it . ..
factory wouldnt be too hard either .. using a pulsed timed relay or some kinda timer you can use a relay to trigger it offf you unlock wire... making sure you use diodes in proper areas , and things like that .. lemme think exactly how you could do it ..Ill let ya know
