The 9005 incandescent bulbs alternately flash during emergency transports.
The filaments may fracture much earlier from such abuse.

State patrol trooper suggests LED lamps.
What do you say?

Thank you.

Yes they work great in this application, running the 9005s. Instant illumination and faster response than filament bulbs.

Definitely recommend high beam LEDs over halogen. The instantaneous light-up is very worth it as an upgrade.
