2008 Highlander auto headlamp install

[Supercar]

I was just wondering if anyone knew of what is needed and where I could buy what is needed to convert my 2008 toyota highlander to have auto headlights, it is the one thing I didn't realize my highlander didn't have when I bought it, anyway, just hoping anyone could help, I know that I will need at least the auto headlamp switch that goes on the steering column, but is there some kind of kit of any kind that would help me complete this. Thanks

The Directed Electronics 545T Nite-Lite System will do it for you.

I just installed the 545T in my HiHy this evening (will take a few pics tomorrow). It works fine except because the stalk headlight is actually turned off I lose the 'light stay on after leaving vehicle for x seconds'. That only works when the stalk headlight is turned on. I will get that feature back when I install my alarm.
