So, the first answer is no, I don't have any pictures. However, I have hooked up the quad square beams in my '86 240. The surrounding pieces are gross right now...I rigged up some plexiglass, but it's super ugly. Either way, with relays running the lights, plus rally lights, plus fogs, I can get quite a super light output! I would say it is at least 80% better light than my old buckets. When I first turned them on, it felt like the brights on my old lights. oh baby. The corner lamps are hooked up on L brackets, and I had to re-drill almost all the holes to mount the backing plates, but now it all works great. I also took off the chrome trim around the grill to give clearance. It is great. welp, just thought I'd share that this CAN be done, it just requires a bit of fabrication and fun. good luck to any who try this in the future...I think I may try to make some bezels out of the originals one of these days. ttfn
