HDRI Quad Lights with Arnold

I was reviewing an old tutorial regarding studio lighting in Arnold. Lee Griggs references three different HDRI files that  were used  -- and to connect each HDR map to the color attribute of each quad light. How is this done? The only thing I can find regarding HDRI lights is via a portal with mesh lights using a skydome. Am I missing something?

You can connect HDR or any image to any light that have option for using texture or map. Just look in light options.

You can use OSL-HDRI_Lights in the Environment-slot for this. There are four or five such studio-light-textures already included. A little walk-through can be found here.
