Switch headlights on, on approach at night

[X Foomph]

Scenario - Night time, X5 parked in dark side alley, returning to car, vision poor, why can't I turn head lights on at approach with remote ??

I appreciate and think it's a great idea that upon departing your X at night one can illuminate the h/lights for a short period however when approaching, that option is not available, or is it ??
