    This is what the non-LED headlamps looks like:
    upload_2020-7-10_15-18-6.jpg
    I'd remove (de-pin) all terminals from the connectors. Snip the power side wire on Headlights, turn signal. These would get an MX150L female terminal crimp and insert in the MX150 female connector.
    The marker's connector would not be altered and only covered by a "plugging" connectors.
    The only ground wire snipped and terminated with a MX150L female terminal would be the LOW Beam ground. All other grounds would keep their OEM terminals. The HIGH beam ground would need to be bundled, covered and affixed to prevent damaged.

    For the DRL I'd duplicate somewhat the same feature the higher end model uses. IGN fuse to 5 pin relay. coil tapped into an add a fuse from the LOW beam to turn DRL off. DRL would be ON at IGN. (no control to ON or OFF switch/app)

    For SR without DRL app control, the rear turn signals would need to the tapped and the rear bulbs would need to be changed to LED's and the FRONT turn signal would need a resistor.

    Pink is the terminal that would need to be left OEM, covered and tied down.
    This is for an SR.
    Resistor to FRONT turn signal, REAR turn signal tap, rear turn signal to LED lamp change. Look at post #61.
    The Parking/Tail wire on the turn signal connector would be removed, snipped and terminated with a female MX150L terminal. A rubber plug for the empty slot on connectors.

    You should make this harness and make some money for the work involved.

    Getting these items would get the LED headlamps connected after a few snips.
    Edit: it's MX150...(33472-0601) the MX150L will not fit.

    This is a view of all connectors removed without cutting the terminals, and various other items removed.

    Can be used to trigger an added circuit (parking/tail) via a relay or other creative add on.

    OP, or anyone with an SR/SR5, I need a view (pic) of the Turn/DRL bulb holder (with bulb) connector of the headlamp from an SR/SR5, and the slot pattern where it attaches on the headlamp. TIA

    Thank you @bizjettech.
    Would you take a pic without bulb so the locking tabs are visible?

    upload_2020-7-14_8-59-42.jpg

    Do you see a part # on the bulb holder?
