From Gold to Rust.

It’s a real shame what happened to the Audette Collection. For years, they were the gold standard for Porsche lighting, but according to a mountain of frustrated posts on the Pelican Parts and Early 911S forums, the shop went completely sideways in 2025. Word on the street is that the business shut its doors while allegedly still holding onto thousands of dollars in customer deposits. Based on comments from the community, some users have alleged it turned into a "robbing Peter to pay Paul" situation toward the end, where new orders were allegedly used to fix old mistakes until the money just ran out. The Review: If you find a used set of Audette H1s at a swap meet, grab them—the hardware itself is legendary. But as a business? Based on current user reports, the trust is gone. Allegedly, plenty of people were left with empty pockets and no headlights. It’s a sad cautionary tale of a premier brand that, according to the forums, allegedly collapsed and left its customers hanging.
