The inner high beam light of the SA setup is the standard 5 3/4" in size ONLY. Unfortunately, the reflector has integral mounting lugs just like the square inner lights of the later vans. So, since it is not mounted by way of a retaining ring, it cannot be replaced by a ubiquitous 5 3/4" headlamp. I did not know this whenever I ordered up the SA grille. If I had realized this it would have given me pause because it is tough enough to find a replacement inner headlamp as it is, but, as a last resort, the dealer is always there with a replacement waiting on a shelf in a warehouse somewhere. I try not to think about what I will have to do if one gets popped by a stone. By the way, has anyone had to source a replacement yet? George
