Default Splicing into headlight buzzer?

So yesterday I got some more lights wired up to my daystar lower dash switch panel and if you have a standard you know it's a tight fit when in 1st 3rd or 5th. I was just curious if it's possible to splice into the headlight buzzer so if you were to accidentally bump a switch on during the day and not notice the headlight buzzer would sound when the Jeep is turned off.

There isn't a buzzer to tap into. The computer senses the headlights are on and generates a tone. Assuming you have a relay to control the additional lights, you could wire it to a switched source of power so they will not come on when the key is off.

Hmm, that's too bad. Yeah I have relays but since it's not as easy as I thought it might have been, I'll just leave it as it is. Thanks
