NO!!!

turn caps lock off... its extremely annoying. The bulb is made to handle the amount of power you are putting through it.

But don't you have to stand on your head before flipping them upside down.

Some people have reported that their fuse HAS blown after switching bulb around to the 27W side. If it happens to you, you likely have a corroded or loose bulb/connnection somewhere in the circuit. Just use a 10 amp if other fuse blows. No harm will come to your harness from the slightly larger fuse. Long story.
But, if a 10 amp fuse blows, you've got a problem, somewhere. You'd better check all bulbs and sockets in circuit.

Cut or grind off the proper nub, bend in the top of the bulb socket slightly on missing nub side so bulb will be tight, install bulb. Done deal.

Removing lens can be difficult. It's in pretty tight. Spray around rubber seal on outside edge of lens with Armorall to make it slip out just a little easier.
