Shovelbill- Think Im going to go with the same headlights and bulbs as you. I like the output and reviews on the bulbs. I was actually thinking about flush mounting these in the bumper for my fog lights: https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/squadron-pro-amber-flush-mount-led-wide-cornering.asp and if I need more Ill mount a single row led bar in the grill
If your housings are at the end of their service life, you would be best served with replacement housings. I would seriously recommend a quality relay harness to increase the voltage to the bulbs.
In Shovelbill's case, as was mine, headlight voltage around 11.5V when lit is not adequate. By putting a full 14.4V to the headlights in operation, by addition of a relay system, the increase in bulb output was over 200% more.
If torn between good bulbs ( at the moment ) and a relay harness, I will always pick a relay harness hands down. The Philips bulbs used in his case, were excellent, high efficacy units.
In case the high beams aren't enough with 9005's, move to 2500 lumen 'optically compatible' HIR, requiring minor tab modification, same base, dimensions and plug. GM # 25770739
Baja Designs manufactures great lighting products. I can't say I have direct experience with the wide amber Squadron, but an acquaintance had a pair with a different optic ( 9 degree spot ) in white, on a truck he sold. They were well made, well engineered units.
