Nissan Leaf: force "AUTO" headlights to be always on

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on May 1, 2021

I own a first-generation Nissan Leaf.

Nissan LEAF – Headlights and Exterior Lights

If your vehicle is equipped with the
auto light system, you can preset the
headlights to automatically operate
based on exterior lighting conditions.
The headlights will also turn on
automatically if the windshield wipers
are operated continuously.

The headlight stalk has an "AUTO" setting that automatically turns the headlights on when it gets dark enough. But during the day, this setting causes the headlights to be completely off. No daytime running lights (DRLs) are active on my US-market Leaf.

I would prefer to keep the Leaf’s headlights on 100% of the time when the car is in motion, like my Saab.

If I keep the stalk in the "ON" position, the car beeps at me upon opening the door. The lights don’t turn off automatically upon parking; I need to manually twist the stalk to "AUTO" or "OFF" to turn off the headlights.

Can the "AUTO" setting be adjusted to keep the headlights on at all times?

(Or, I suppose, can the "ON" setting be made to turn off the headlights with the car?)
