Default New Headlight housing... advice needed

OK... i got 6000K 9006HIDs and man ar they bright I want to replace my housing but still use the 9006 bulbs... Does anyone know where i can get these? I am looking for glass instead of the plastic... I know i could have gone and got the Euro verson T84 headlights (cant remember the number) and ran H4 bulbs but its kind of to late for that now since i already have my HIDs...

what are my options?
There has to be a company out there that makes glass housing that will project a better beam pattern than or OEM headlights...

Thanks guys

I feel ya bro. I got my HID 9006 last week and kept looking for something like you are but absolutely no luck I finally installed my HIDs tonite and there is still a huge difference. If you find out anything about glass housing that will take 9006 let me know as well.

highly unlikely. Im sure someone will buy your 9006 HID kit but the Euro housings use a single bulb that is a lot shorter than the 9006 bulb
