I can't find a kit anywhere that has the headlight feature. My friend has a volvo that does what I'm looking for. When you press the yellow button on the key fob, the lights come on for about a minute. I didn't think it'd be too hard to do, but I guess it is. I'd make my own transmitter and receiver, but I have no background in electronics. Any suggestions?

Many keyless entry systems have an extra button that triggers an auxiliary function. It can be used for anything from turning the defroster on to popping the trunk. That's what you would use to do your Volvo emulation.

A friend gave me this keyless entry/remote starter kit last night, and it does have an auxiliary function, put it only puts out positive power. I'm thinking of skipping the headache and putting the factory keyless entry (for the two door hb) in my sedan since the remote is shaped for the guts of a toyota key anyway. Any resources you would recommend for parts/diy installation?

There's a thread on here where all of the parts required are listed. You'll have to do a bit of searching to find it. The part though are very expensive for an OEM keyless install, as you need the receiver (which is very hard to find and crazy expensive when you do) and the body ECU (which is part of the under dash fuse panel).
