The Euro beam is a focused beam for great distance, while the Cornering beam offers a wide, even spead of light. Here's a link showing the different beam patterns: http://www.4x4connection.com/tech/hellatech5.htm

I find that the Cornering beam works great for the trails I frequent b/c of the wide even light spread it offers.

Thanks.

Nope, no pics. All the wiring is too well hidden for a picture to be of any help.
I just used a standard wiring kit. It was left over from my IPFs atop my old roof basket. The wiring ran from the battery, to a relay, (grounded of course) and then to the roof lights. For these front mounted lights, I rerouted the wiring from the roof to the ballasts at the bumper.

IIRC, each ballast has a pos & neg wire. So I took both pos wires from both ballasts and spliced them into the one pos wire from my original wiring. Did the same thing with the 2 neg wires from the ballasts...just spliced them into the one neg wire from my original wiring.

Hope that makes sense
