Q on 123 euro lights?

I just got my new euro light bucket and reflector from MTU power. It has a few dusty things (I am not complaining) on the reflectors and I would like to clean them a bit and am wondering what to use that will not diminish the reflecting capabilities of it.

Also are there some ultra bright bulbs available for it?

I once made the mistake of using windex on an old pair of Hellas, and the chrome came off on one fog reflector. Since then, I only use a soft cotton rag and very lightly wipe away any dust. These headlamps are tightly closed, so this should have to be done maybe once or twice, if at all, during the life of the car.

Thanks. I bought the base plus reflectors from MTU power and there is a little dust in it.

What is the significance of the shroud over the bulbs? Is it just a blocker or is it supposed to be reflective too?
