Default Light Oxidated up

My passenger side headlight oxidated up. I had removed my city lights a while back so thats probably the reason to it, theres an open hole of where the city lights go. Quick question though, is there a way to remove the oxidation? I have heard once a light gets oxidated im pretty much screwed and will have to replace the headlight.

Also, if anyone has the stock city lights i'll buy them off you. Thanks

If you're saying there is oxidation on the inside of the light housing, I'd agree that you're screwed. If it's on the outside, most decent plastic polishes can remove oxidation and make them look like new.

Question, after you took out your parking lite bulbs you didnt plug the harness back into the socket? You left them dangling, thus a 'open' hole???
