The etching that i'm currently working on is very similar to the pict with the emblems for clear and smoked, I also am working on an alternative that has a CTS embedded as well. But looking into the mass production of these is where I want to be spot on to not have to deal with any issues. |
By "diffused" and "diamond etching" i do not mean the Cadillac logo.
I mean the actual pattern inside the lense, if its rough to the touch. The same that the OEM ones feel. I am just using the term diffused because that was the term we used here when WW was making them. I actually didnt understand it at first either.
Here is a comparison (best pics I could find):  |

The diffused portion of the clear side markers is posing to be a bigger challenge to get them to turn out perfect. will post updates as this process continues. |

Diffused is the only thing worth making, IMO.

I agree, the clear ones are not the look that I prefer, nor do I think that any one else would be interested. |

Even tho my housing is painted black in the back of them... when in direct sunlight or when the lights are on, it shows the back of the housing and I dont really like that look.
So, I am in for a set of smoked diffused sides if you get them right. 
PS - Talk to WW, he said he would help you out. |
