    Increase the Brightness of Your Brake Lights & Turn Signals by 45%

    ** FREE SHIPPING **

    though the end of April.

    —————

    March 22, 2020 Update

    These are back in stock. I have been scrapping the internet and have managed to accumulate some more. Supplies are limited.

    ==> Click to go to AC Store

    ** ALERT **

    I thought I would bring you up to date on these. First of all, they are the real deal. They are much brighter than standard incandescent bulbs and they last longer. They sell briskly and, unfortunately, the supply seems to be drying out. And when I do find them prices are generally higher than they were originally, maybe because folks see supplies drying out. I've searched and searched and I cannot find anything comparable - these are evidently some kind of freak that appears to be out of production.

    I have enough confirmed and on the way to fill back orders and I will have some left for a few new orders. If you have been thinking about buying a set of these now is a good time to act. With all of the research I have done this has entered the "Would you like fries with that?" category of profitability but I want to be successful in terms of getting them all distributed and I'm informing this group first.

    ** 2/18/20 Update **

    For those of you who have tried to buy these at the store and received a Sold Out message they are now restocked. My main vendor has them on back order and they are getting very hard to find but I found some bits here and there. I’m not sure how long these will be available and there may be price increases.

    Originality AND increased brightness. This is a great find thanks to my friend Daniel Stern.

    These high performance incandescent bulbs are a great choice If you want brighter signal lights but prefer a more traditional appearance for your turn signals and taillights than LED bulbs. Your external signal lamps can safely be made 45% brighter with these European special high-efficiency bulbs. And, in addition to increased brightness, they have nickel-plated bases which are required in Europe for corrosion resistance.

    There is a single-filament variety (replacing 7506, 1156, 1141, 1076, P21W, or P25-1) and a dual-filament variety (replacing 7528, 1157, 1034, 2057, 2357, P21/5W, or P25-2). Most air cooled Porsches require eight bulbs (kit doesn't include small 4w city light).

    We have assembled a kit with the all of the bulbs you need for both front turn signals and rear taillights. The Audette Collection Kit is $98.50. Link to AC Store

    Cheers,

    John,
    The one reason some of us may be a little hesitant is, like LED's, the look of the lights are often too far from the original look of the tail lights.
    Almost a fake look. Now of course I don't know what these look like, but do you or someone have a side by side comparison or at least a photo of these bulbs installed?
    Just sayin. Or am I just too out there to even ask a question like this(?)
    Thanks and Cheers,
    Rich

    I agree, I also like to see comparison pictures and I’m working on it. This little Audette Collection adventure has really gotten busy lately.

    I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see;
    I won't be much when it’s through' with me
    Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
    Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail…

    People love pictures, look at Instagram and it’s mighty draw. My thoughts would be a filament bulb with a higher output should should still look original. Where a LED bulb is directional and take multiple diodes to create light volume so they look “futuristic” or “Alien” or “not correct at all”.

    Someone who bought these should post a picture of one taillight with the new bulbs and the other taillight with the standard bulbs. Or before and after pics.

    In regards to John being busy, I totally agree that these little hobby businesses can end up taking huge amounts of time. If you have work and customers then sometimes putting on a show for all the looky loos comes second to the work or way down the line in importance. I just came back from consulting on a major Porsche project in Thailand where they have loads of employees to handle all sorts of things - with a $300/month minimum wage and qualified technician pay at $1000/mo no wonder they can have all those employees/techs/cooks/cleaners/5 gals in the office! Here everything costs so much to operate and the customers are pinching ever penny so it’s such a struggle. Good work John, always great to see you latest light offerings.
