Depends how you look at it 35 watts is brighter then 27, but 8 watts is brighter then 5, i am assuming these are turn signal bulbs you are talking about so when they are on the parkinglights which are the 5 or 8 watt the 8 will be brighter butwhen you turn on the blinker the 27 watt will be dimmer then the 35, Get it?

oh thats how it works??? interesting, i have 27/8 superwhites in my corners and i wanted something a little brighter. was thinking about LED but didnt want to have to deal with the fast blinking and getting the thing to slow it down.

they need to make liek 35/20 or would that not be able to be handled by cars being on at long engths of time and not just blinking?

The 35 5's will only give you brighter blinkers and dimmer pking lamps so it's pointless
