AC Platinum LED Headlights

We were the first to pioneer LED headlights back in 2016. I will post some of the pictures of the primitive testing we did at the time. The pick of the litter for premium LED's was JW Speaker and they're still among the best. However, Daniel Stern, acknowledged worldwide as an automotive lighting expert and our Sr. Automotive Lighting Consultant, recently designated the Philips Integral Beam LED's as the best of the best, what we refer to as Best-in-Class.

AC Premium BOSCH Logo H4 Headlights with original Bosch restoration and enhanced illumination.

AC Premium Bosch Logo H4 Headlights

There's a big demand for the original Bosch H4's and we restore a lot of them but they are getting more difficult to find. Bosch is no longer building them - the current ones sold by Porsche are built by AL (Automotive Lighting) in Czechoslovakia and the lenses are marked "AL" instead of "Bosch". Those are fine but we decided we could do a little better and get a little closer to the original Bosch's with a few significant improvements.

Best-in-Class® AC F-Series & G-Series Taillight Assemblies - Complete

Restored Originals or High Quality Reproductions?

After 25 years of restoring original parts it's become apparent that, unless you absolutely need originality, much better price performance is delivered by new Best-in-Class reproduction parts.

These new housings are a perfect example. They are all metal and the details, craftsmanship and fit are excellent. They are relatively inexpensive and 100% complete plug n' play ready to install.

Osram Night Breaker H4 Bulbs - 250% brighter automotive lighting.

The only H4 bulbs recommended by worldwide automotive lighting expert and AC Consultant Daniel Stern - and the only H4 halogen bulbs we sell.

Manufactured in Germany (one of the few H4 halogen bulbs not made in Asia), these Osram Night Breaker H4 bulbs deliver 250% more illumination than a standard 60w/55w H4 bulb. That's 190% brighter with no increase in current draw or heat generated.

LED Bulbs That Work

The new CANBUS technology has eliminated all of the problems with LED bulbs and they have become our most popular product. An simple and inexpensive way to increase your safety by increasing the brightness of your turn signals and taillights.

45% Brighter Incandescent Turn Signal & Taillight Bulb Kit

These bulbs were originally used by a Japanese auto manufacturer in their high-end cars. They evidently made the decision that they were to expensive and went back to basic bulbs.

These are 45% brighter and have nickel bases to prevent corrosion. They are the best way we know of to significantly increase the brightness of your signal light bulbs short of installing LED's. And they do retain an original look. They're expensive though. Your call (we sell a lot of them).

Audette Collection - A Walk Down Memory Lane

1973 911S 2.7

This is an interesting car. It was equipped with factory installed rear fender flares marked "2.5cm Rear Fender Flares" on the Kardex, one of two only. I found it's twin in Italy but an owner had removed the fender flares thinking they were after-market.

1960 356 Super 90 Roadster

One of AC's first Porsches, it was acquired in rough but solid condition with most original parts there. AC restored it with of goal of 100% authenticity using only original parts. It was possible at that time but the process took 8 years. Maybe my favorite Porsche of all time.

1974 911 Euro Carrra

When AC acquired this car it was referred to as the "poor man's RS Carrera". My son put me on to these before they were widely recognized making it affordable. This was a truly outstanding driving car and looked great in with the Lime Green color.

1960 356 Roadster

AC restored a number of Roadsters, kind of a specialty. This one was restored for a doctor on the East Coast. When we acquired it and took it down to metal it had one of the best tubs we had ever seen. With colors specified by the customer it turned out to be really attractive.

1972 911S Targa

It seems that many make fun of Targa's with some calling them "flexible fliers". But this is the best open road Porsche out of the many we've owned.

1993 964 2S

This car was a workhorse. At one time ridiculed, especially by LWB owners, it was always one of the best built 911's. It achieved respect when Singer selected it for their builds.

More AC Collection Past Porsches

1967 911 Factory Rally Build

We obtained a 911 Normal that had an engine build to 2.7 RS Carrera specs in an exacting manner. Otherwise it was stock. We following the Rally Specifications issued by the Porsche factory in 1968 and built it accordingly (mostly). Extensive information here.

1973 911S Aubergine

AC bought this car sight unseen. When we expressed a concern to the seller he said "You will be shocked when it comes off the trailer. And we were - it turned out to be one of best, most authentic cars we ever purchased.

993 C4S

We've always thought that the 993 was one of the most beautiful cars ever made by Porsche. But we could never decide if we liked the wide body of the narrow body better. And we ended concentrating mostly on LWB cars.
