1996 E350 upgrades question

Has anyone installed a headlight switch that automatically turns the headlights on or off depending on ambient light conditions?
I am so used to my other vehicles new and old having this feature that I forget to turn my lights off. Yes I am being lazy but if there if there is a way to do it easily I'd like to give it a try.
The same thing with door locks. I have gotten used to the locks being activated when the car is shifted into drive that I forget to actually push the lock button.
If anyone has done these upgrades please contact me I want to know how you did it and from what car or truck you sourced the parts.
Thanks in advance.

I really wish vehicles didn't come with automatic headlights. There are so many people who don't turn their headlights on when it's raining because their car is smarter then they are. As far as the door locks, you can add that feature with an aftermarket alarm. The lock would be timed, though and not when you put it in drive.
