Headlight bulb housing

Hey everyone, I figured this was the correct place to put this as its an issue. However, it was caused by my me.

I installed some hids in my headlights this past summer. After about a month of them being in with no issues, I was lapping mosport ddt and nailed a pothole on the side of the track. I finished my lap slow and got off to check the wheels and suspension and I smelled something burning. Went to pit, popped the hood and the hid had popped out of the housing. Before I could do anything about it, it had melted down into the bulb housing so I cannot put a bulb in tight or straight anymore.

Does anyone have any clue if anybody offers individual replacement parts? The dealer told me they only sell entire headlamp assemblys.

Which side and how much of the housing melted? I have a light that may be usable for parts.

Hey, I will take a look when I get home. It has been a while since I've looked at it.
