parking light rust?

anyone else notice rust forming around the parking light opening? i just noticed a lill rust around the lip (looking from the outside when the parking lights are on) when i installed some new lights (194)...looks worse on the p/s.

car has ~53k miles and is a july03 build


p.s. the lill' rubber seal on the lights is still there and not messed up in any way as well. not sure how it got there (the rust)...any ideas on how to get rid of it...short of buying new headlights? also i'm not sure if you can take apart teh front headlights....oh well guess worest coems to worest i'll jsu tlive with it..adn hopfully it doesn't get too bad and noticable
