You could replace them with stainless steel or chrome bolts.
Because you say "Motorbike" instead of motorcycle I'm assuming you're not in The U.S., but here most Ace and Tru-Value hardware stores have either.

I found this at the link below. It is not abut headlight hardware, but I thought it might help:
How can I prevent my lug nuts from getting rusty over and over?
Start by removing the lug nuts from service on the wheel. Next, make absolutely sure that all the rust is off of them and that they are completely dry and clean. You will need the smallest size can of clear polyurethane that you can get at the hardware store. Carefully dip the clean, dry, rust-free lugs into the polyurethane briefly and then slowly remove them. ONLY dip the exposed parts of the lug nuts – don't let the polyurethane get on the threads! Now, sit the threaded, open part of the lug onto something to allow it to dry – like a pencil standing up. The idea is to allow the lug nut to dry thoroughly, and the finish to be light and even. When the polyurethane on the lug is completely dry, remove it from the drying stick and gently sand off any excess that flowed downward – making sure not to sand the areas that are visible after installation. Depending on your area and how much weather and road salt they have to endure, the lugs should now go a few years without rusting.

your not supposed to leave it in the rain
but you can spray it with WD-40(from local hardware store) and it will take off the rust and keep it from rusting

Try cleaning them up with metal polish and 4/0 steel wool. Once you get them clean put a little clear nail polish on them.

Polish them and give them a heavy coat of wax to protect them.
