A Sylvania Silverstar filament has about 465 lumens so it could be reasonable.
Side firing or the CREE itself? Seems reasonable. Keep in mind, since it's LED, the best way to test it is in the housing itself because the LED is directional. When its rated at 420, it's not the same as filiment which would be 360 degrees. As for my CREE, the JLC one has slightly more than 1.5 times the lumens output as the the one you are mentioning.

Oh from the RX forum. Yes I remember reading that, but they person never mentioned what the specs where and I believe there was a video too.
It does look like one from superlumination/autolumination which are China made. They have one which they say is about 500 lumens (not sure if if that is the main CREE itself, or total), and their rectangular SMDs for side firing is 100 lumens each. On the side note, some people say the the superluminaton has ok, some say quality issues.

So I installed the decoder and the leds blink much slower than the rapid blink, but still faster then normal. I am actually a little disappointed and have messaged the seller to see why this is. Still waiting for a response, but it looks like this "plug & play" option is not the best.
I will keep everyone updated as I learn more.

I can describe verbally what it is doing. The decoder fixes the problem for about two seconds and then it starts blinking more rapidly, until it is basically hyper-flashing. If you have an iPhone I can text you the video.

I have Android.
Sounds like the decoder isn't realiable. Probably the LED turn signal relay would be better off.
I am still waiting for test and perform the resistor method on a stock resister once I get the two CREE's finally put it up in the front.

hey guys,
I replace 4 LED front signal... I bought a relay from V-LED... it work but your unlock/ lock light will not come on... V-LEd send a replacement but unfortunately it doesn't work again... I'm in the process of getting a resistor.. I think the resistor probably work a lot better then this decoder...
