Default Wiring escos moretts

Hi all, Im having a bit difficulty wiring these things up.

Id of thought it was fairly straight forward but there is a couple bits thats confusing me

Where do the inner lights get wired to as i cant see where they go?

Also when i put side lights on, what lights should be on?? the outer ones? inner ones? or both?

Im sure there was a post about an idiots guide to wiring these up but couldn't find it in the search.

Any help greatly appreciated

Mine is kinda doing something like that just now.

The outers are dim on side lights, Then brighter on dip beam, then well bright on main beam.

At no point do the inners come on. Must be my dodgy wiring

Iv always prefered standard to be honest but recently got the notion of putting them on just for a change.

Looks pretty awsome tho :

It is a good looking cossie Escorton8.. I think the black wheels etc make the lights seem to work. I just prefer ones that look pretty standard to keep the standard lights.. I have the morettes on my one and just fancy a change.
