The best way to understand the SA grill is to think of  it as just like a
late, square headlight type Vanagon grill with round lights instead of
square. The SA grill is what they SHOULD have done in '86. The outer lights
are standard round hi/lo combinations just like the 80-85 Vanagon.

Its never the case where the inner lights are not for hibeam usage..., is

I'd say those inner H1 lights are DEFINITELY for hi-beam usage. I mean,
sure, you could wire 'em up as something else, but they're really wicked
spot lights so you'd either have to aim them WAY down or risk blinding folks
like a jackass.

Pretty sure it's been all "chromed plastic" for a long time, like since the
T2 production ended. Not sure what you're asking...
