Automatic lights?

I'm about to purchase a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T quattro and I forgot to check thoroughly but it seemed like it doesn't have automatic lights. is this true? if so, is it possible/feasible to make them automatic? the car I'm using right now doesn't have automatic lights and because I'm so used to automatic ones I'm constantly leaving them on and killing the battery. thanks

The parking lights will work.

Only parkers stay on when you turn the ignition off.
The A4 also sounds a buzzer when you open the door with the lights on so you won't forget.

Would you really not buy a car because of automatic headlights?

okay thanks guys... and no realistically non-automatic lights won't stop me from buying it, but if there was a way to convert it I would definitely want to do that. its just silly that it has so many features that are ahead of its time but yet doesn't have automatic lights lol. my old/first car had automatic lights and the car i've been driving since it died, does not. so far, i just haven't completely gotten used to having to shut the lights off manually. i've had to jump start it way to many times. i guess ive just been spoiled lol
