Ask your local glass shop if they have ceramic glass, same stuff used in fireplace doors, it's rated for high temperature applications but be ready for sticker shock, it's usually pretty expensive.

I don't think that stuff is UV RESISTANT. If its a certain type metal halide bulb the glass sheilds needs this. I replaced mine with tempered low e glass. They also could only get 6 mill when I needed 5 mill. But it fit with some adjusting. Sorry for the crappy explanation I'm on my phone.

Literally Google glass installer or glazing Company. I think I paid like 20$ for 4 pieces. How long have you been running without your halides. Lol
