Retrofitting Automatic Lights

Does anyone know of an easy way to retrofit automatic lights to a D8?

....if not i have brought a 12v light sensitive kit that is made for this type of application. So does anyone know the wire that comes from the stalk that controls the headlight that i could tap into?

Pretty sure it's a D9-only feature, meaning it works off the BSI, and you don't want to be sticking one of those in your car...

According to Haynes it's a strange new colour called PC1 (find it with a multimeter

)
