Yeah, 24 SMD LED's are not 400 or even 100 lumens, probably. You certainly don't need that much output for a marker light. It also makes a difference as to the actual die type used in the LED panel. IOW, a 5050 LED is brighter than a 3628 LED.
If Barney says they are the same or better, then it would be a fairly accurate description of the output, more accurate than an Asian E Bay merchant trying to sell LED bulbs with the other 10,000 vendors and inflating the numbers.
I'd suggest to forget about lumen output and buy a couple LED replacements based on anecdotal assessment. Install them and see if you like them, then order the remaining.
