I have the amber spots and love them I also have the clear euros and will most likely get the amber euros once I get the 4 on the bumper!

Someone sent me a PM and reminded me that I never posted pics from my euro covers.

Here are a couple that will kinda show the difference in light pattern. The first on has a Euro cover on the Driver side light, and no cover on the Passenger side light, basically spot beam.

The second picture has the Euro cover on both lights. You can see how much more spread out the light is.

I posted other pictures on another page. I realized as I post this that the output really can't be compared to the old pictures though. These were taken at F11, ISO 1600, 4 sec exposure. The old ones were at F16. These two though do give a good comparison. Both shots are also only the light cannons. The HIDs are not on in these pictures.

Oh wow that reduces the distance a lot more than I thought! I wonder how the flood covers are since the euros are and mix of flood and spot. Well I'm glad I didn't buy any euro lenses than. My cannons are my long distance lights. I have my 20" bar in my bumper that cover the medium range distance and 4 lights that cover the close range and sides of the road so all my ranges are covered for now.

Here's a quick comparison:
From left to right: Stock HID, Light Cannon, Light Cannon w/ Euro Lens
Note: It appears that it's not quite as dark out in the third photo.

Obviously the Cannons without lens throw the light the farthest, but I noticed how much the light bleed is on the tree leafs on the right side of the picture... I didn't expect that without the Euro lens covers installed. I'd really like to see a through windshield night photo of the hood mount Light Cannons with a Euro cover installed.

The general concensus of the Light Cannon is that it's an extreme spot beam, but it does have pretty significant halo bleed. This whole video is probably interesting to most anyone in this lighting forum, but skip to about 13:20 to see the halo bleed.
Rigid Dually vs. Vision X Optimus and the New Vision X Light Cannon | Headlight Revolution - YouTube

I'm planning on getting the 21" Vision-X Xtreme for the lower grille in either all 10º or 10/40º combo, but I'm not sure if I want a pair of Optimus Dual Cubes for the bumper cutouts or Light Cannons on hood mounts. Maybe I should get all three! :)

PS - Chayse, thanks for updating with the new photos.

Difference in lighting was due to shots at f16 vs f11 for the third shot. More light was let in the camera, so it looks lighter.

No, that's way too expensive! You should give me the contact information for the person selling them at such an absurd price so I can get in touch and tell them to stop trying to rip people off.
