Source of inner "SA" style headlights/spots

[rollercoaster]

My camper came with the SA type grille, an aftermarket fitment I must assume,
the inner lights have rusted reflectors now and I must find replacements.
They are only main beam lights and to be honest a bit of overkill.
I am considering reverting to the original grill style and deleting them.
However my question is, does anyone know a source for replacements?
Thankyou

Brilliant thanks,
as I only need the lamp, all my fittings are fine,
perhaps I could save some funds by only buying that bit?

[R0B]

Methinks they come as a unit.

[rollercoaster]

yes me too,
and from other places the same units.
On the off chance I wrote to JK,
worth asking if they sell the lights separate.

Are these lights sizes "same" as a Golf,
or something else I could get easier?

Can't answer that fella sorry.

I have Golf MK2 lights on my bus. Same size.
Also Land Rover Defender amongst others.

They are outer lights not the smaller inner ones.

Doh! did'nt read post thoroughly.

Thanks I had a reply from JK,
no they only sell them with all the brackets.
The van is not with me to measure the lights,
but I'm sure there must be an alternative.
My guess is the Golf " GTi with similar lights.

They are the same size as the Golf Mk2 inner driving lights but the fixings may not be the same, for instance VWSA dip/main lights are retained with integral mounting tabs, not rings.
I always found the inner mains to give a useful boost to night driving visibility in the days before aftermarket led headlamps.

I would hope for extra dipped lighting,
dont really need the extra main beam,
which is all my old ones gave me.
Thanks for info.

I had the same issue with SA inners. Golf Mk2 inner lights don’t fit unfortunately. Same lens, different positions for the fitting tabs.
I picked up a standard round lamp grille and deleted the inners before finding the time to see if the Golf lights could be bodged in.
There are plenty of 5-3/4” led units available now that would potentially give dipped and main beam modes though…

I had the same issue with badly coroded inner lamps on my SA grill.
Looked at the Golf option but the fixing tabs are in the wrong place as the Docmeister found.
Tried getting a pair from SA with no luck so decided to make the best of what I had and have a go at relining them.
I used a very high quality adhesive aluminium 'Speed tape' by 3M.
I removed the lenses, wet and dryed all of the rough bits of the pitted silvering and spent a bit of time cutting and fitting in the speed tape. Lots of rubbing and pressure along the tape seams and a bit of metal polish to buff up.
Not perfect but 100% better than they we're but frustrating you cant get replacements.

That’s not a bad result, hopefully the adhesive will cope. I’ll try on mine in due course, they are way worse than yours. When I cleaned up my outers I stuck it together with bathroom sealant, worked ok!
