I'm using the PSY24W LED bulbs from OSS, bought via F1autohaus
http://f1autohaus.myshopify.com/prod...d-turn-signals
Then with coding disabled the bulb check, so no warnings and no need for load resistors
and no flashing on startup

That's what I'm doing too! And might I add... Luis from OSS is the most customer service oriented vendor with the best product and support for LED angels- bar NONE.

they look identical to the weisslicht ones but without the core exchange they are even more expensive. i really wanted led but cant justify the cost.

Sort of, ours are not just a rebased OEM bulb. These are redesigned from the ground up so we don't just hack apart an OE base and slap on an LED bulb. We've spent over 3 years developing this bulb, sourcing the new parts and testing it on several vehicles to ensure it's a direct replacement.

It's not just a cheap bulb given the level of development and investment required to get the molding and design correct. However, given that it's the first on the market, does the job very well and has been thoroughly developed and tested...I think it's more than a fair price.

i understand and accept what you are saying and given that the bulbs will probably sell in fairly limited numbers the development cost per item will be quite high. unfortunately i cant justify spending £100 UK on 2 bulbs (delivered)

i think the difference between JLevi's LEDs and OSS LEDs is that OSS LEDs are okay to be as expensive as it is because it's custom work, whereas Jlevi's LEDs are mass produced, so it's expected to be more "realistically" priced

Well not quite mass produced, we had to work (over 3 years) developing and testing prototypes with the factory before we got it right. It's produced in a factory however I'd prefer a finished product that is professionally produced rather than one that is one off and custom. Custom can mean many things, including inconsistencies
