Got it! I might get the glass housings and apply a protective film to help with the strength.

Good to know.
Always a good practice to seal any headlight assemblies with high temp silicone.
One thing I will mention about the Anzos though... If you look closely at the bottom of the low beam reflector in that picture you can see a small drain hole. These are covered with little screen stickers from the factory. Don't make the mistake I did with my first set and remove them. They're designed to create a vent/drain but also keep water from flying up into the bottom of the housings. I went through a car wash with the DRLs on and a drop of water flew up and hit the bulb, which caused it to explode inside the housing. Hence the reason I've bought three sets of the Anzos...
One more note about bulbs. If you want even more brightness from your high beams, you can use Philips 9011 HIR bulbs instead of the factory 9005s. You just have to trim one tab and they'll drop right into the factory 9005 sockets. Like so:

I would not recommend doing this with your low beams, as the 9012 HIR bulb does not have a glare cap painted onto the tip of the bulb, where the factory 9006 does. The only time I'd upgrade a 9006 to a 9012 in one of these trucks is if you're running a set of headlight housings with a glare cap over the low beam bulb. Otherwise the 9012 HIR will create hotspots and glare that will annoy other drivers.
Either Daniel Stern or the Candlepower forum (can't remember which) recommended the ADO-HIR1
