Headlights Conversion to 2015 LED Headlights with Manual ON/OFF for Lightning Bolt

This d-i-y is for GT-R owners who want to install the 2015 GT-R headlights that use LEDs for both low and high beams! and have the nice unique lightning bolt pattern for parking lights, or for what could be used as DRLs (abet weak ones!)

Lightning Bolt LED turned into a DRL without Parking Lights ON.
I have been running the new 2015 LED headlight for over a week now and have driven my GT-R through unlit country roads and the illumination is much better than older lights in many aspects. I had also previously upgraded the HID bulbs so I can safely say my comparison is not due to older HID bulbs. This upgrade is well worth the money first for the better illumination intensity, then the illumination pattern is more more comprehensive and wider, better color temperature, and finally the time to full power-up is much quicker then HID. The lightning bolt is just the icing on the cake :)

Thus the instructions in this post also go into modifying the lightning bolt LED power source to have it on whenever desired with no relation to headlights.
