A method and apparatus for a high temperature corrosion resistant composition. The composition is formed into a bulb shield for a vehicle, including automobiles and motorcycles. An alloy composition may be used to stamp a bulb shield. The bulb shield may comprise a cup portion and a connector. Either the cup portion, the connector, or both may comprise an Inconel® alloy composition. The bulb shield may be positioned in front of a headlight bulb to steer light in a desired direction. The bulb shield may be electropolished to provide a decorative attribute to the lamp. The bulb shield may be exposed to high temperatures from the headlight bulb. The Inconel® composition resists deterioration and discoloration of the bulb shield due to the high temperatures. The Inconel® 600 composition also improves the durability of the bulb shield.
