Headlamp reflector corrosion

[lnaic]

Hello,

The lower area of both my car headlamps have corroded reflectors (see images). These are standard 2015 5.3/4 glass headlamps.

I do drive the car in wet weather. How common is this issue for other wet weather drivers?

I plan on replacing the headlamps with these from Caterham https://caterhamparts.co.uk/headlights/1932-headlamp-glass-rhd-2015-onwards.html

Any tips to prevent corrosion from occurring again, or at least slow it down?

Thank you

The powder coating started falling away in chunks on my 2018 car headlamp rims in less than 2 years, closer examination/poking revealed that the powder coat hadn't apparently adhered properly in the first place to the rim so once water got underneath the end was nigh.

The factory lights are of poor quality. Mine rusted in the same way. I changed for Hella (German) and they appear far better quality and the light output is noticeably better too. The downside is that the lens is almost flat so they look a bit different.
