Default Auto on/off head lights

While at work today I was wiring a panel box (my wonderful case of ADD in full swing) I came across this idea. My Subarus headlights turn on and off with my handbrake... I know that the crossfire has a switch on the handbrake to detect its position on/off couldn't the power wire from the head light switch be first fed through this switch and the light switch always be left on? I don't have my crossfire anymore but I can't even guess the amount of times I left my lights on out of habit from my Subaru. If I remember right the headlight switch assembly is unbelievably expensive so modifying the unit it's self isn't a great idea.

The Crossfires with a manual tranny and DTRLs, had the low beams come on automatically when the hand brake was released, engine running natch. Autos must be similar I'm guessing.The lights did not go off when the hand brake was applied for obvious reasons.

To run the lights through the hand brake system would have to involve a relay as the power is quite high.
