Well, looks like everyone has no concern for the plastic to get soft....even 30 seconds can be enought to yellow the clear lens over time.

Always easy to say "go for it" when it's not your lens!

Best you can do at 27W with the 3156 base is the 3456 that puts out about 25% more lumens at the same wattage.
