VW never had the "lights on" buzzer before the 90's

 They must have figured they were covered by the headlights

 [ but not the parking lights ] turning off if you turned the engine 

off.  I have managed to leave the [ parking] lights on accidently

before and still managed to start the car after 8 hours at work. 

[ oops]

There are afternarket lights-on-buzzers kits available. 

never tried them myself
