How to keep headlight adjusters from corroding?

[Anthony (M5 in Calgary)]

I'm installing new ellipsoids (with Euro mod) in the M and have secured all new mounting hardware for the lamps. Usually the threads become corroded after time and adjustments become very difficult. Corrosion on the threads can also crack the nylon mounting nut.

Can anybody suggest a coating that would prevent this problem? I'm thinking white lithium grease (Lubriplate etc.) on the threads would help. Whatever is used it needs to be compatible with the nylon nut.

That works and some other stuff called Corrosion X works wonderfully and it stays clear. I think Aircraft Spruce and Specialty sells it. I've got some other stuff called CPC or Corrosion Preventitive Compound. That stuff is made for the Navy Aircraft on Carriers. Its good for 12 months in an ocean like environment. Its a little sticky but it stays on for a long time.

Royal Purple Maxfilm if you can't find anything else.

How about brush on graphite lubricant? It sticks to just about anything it touches and its considered a "Dry" lubricant and works very well.
