It's a 5 prong plug that looks like it would take 6. They're not hard to wire. There is the added benefit of running lights. There is full instructions with it, and the plug, plus the extra wire.
Would someone mind telling me about the vac adjust??I might be able to install that.

The vac adjust is a bellows in the light, which lowers the light with vacuum. The euro light switch has a thumbwheel next to it with three positions, normal, and two lower settings for carrying people and luggage in the rear.

Are you going to use the silverstars or are you going to use an overwattage halogen bulb? Will the wiring take a 80 or 100 watt bulb?

Are the bulbs of the euros replaceable or do you have to replace the entire lens?

the euros are not sealed beams like the us spec so you can replace the bulbs when they burn out.. 100% better than sealed beams. the light output is also better.
