Converting to LED lights to the outside of your rig
Anyone on here do it? Was it hard? Got any pictures you can share? Estimated costs?

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.
I wasn't talking about the marker lights but rather the interior lights that he mentioned. I have LED's now that the wife doesn't like so I was looking at others, you cant ignore the lumen output, that's like saying a 15w bulb is the same as a 40watt. They are not, if I am replacing 2 921 bulbs in a fixture that together produce 500 lumens, that's quite a difference if the LED's produce 200 that is quite a reduction in light output.
