Replancing Manual Headlight Switch w/ Auto On/Off DRL Switch

I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey EXL; 44500 Miles. Around 2005 Honda started installing DRL/auto on/off headlights on its vehicles as a standard feature but my vehicle must have missed the cut. I have the manual on/off light switch. No auto/on off and no DRL.

My windshield appears to have the photo-sensor installed.

So, is it possible to change out the light switch on the steering column for a switch that will enable the auto on/off headlights? Honda doesn't make a kit for this but could another aftermarket switch be used? If so, would this be a fairly simple exchange? If not, where would be a good place to look to get it done? Mechanic, Audio shop, somewhere else?

Thanks.
Dan

Probably gonna regret any aftermarket headlight switch installation! You will need to get a new Body control module, and because the car was not built for this you won't find the right module! It will be less agravation to buy a new honda!

Well, with an ominous reply like that, I'll just have to let me wife turn the lights on and off manually. Perish the thought!
