I assume that the SA has the same light housings as my B. My reflectors were both bad and I was missing a lens, so I decided to go with the small 6V sealed beam lights. I went down to the local hardware store and got some gray weatherstripping that had a "double-D" cross-section with about a 1/4 inch flat strip between the D's. I wrapped one layer around the lens edge of the sealed beam with the adhesive "out", and another layer around that with the adhesive "in". Then I literally stuffed the bulb into the housing and put the ring on. With two layers of weatherstripping you have to compress it quite a bit to stuff it all into the housing, and the inside layer "surrounds" the edge of the bulb to help hold it in. If you look really close, you can tell that it isn't original, but mine have been in for over 3 years and haven't popped out yet. Hope this helps.
