Cadillac STS headlights have the habit of leaking water and ruining the chrome so I decided to spruce mine up a little bit by repainting them flat black. Does anyone know if this is actually street legal or if there is actually a market for people wanting something like this. Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm pretty sure resealing them will fix the leak problem.
Re: Customized Cadillac STS Headlights and Foglights
The only issue I see is the turn signal reflector no longer being reflective.
I can see Police not liking that as a safety concern, I have wanted to replace that with an amber panel of LEDs instead.
Perhaps you could find a rectangular LED panel with bright amber LEDs and retrofit that into the DRL / Turn signal spot.
Re: Customized Cadillac STS Headlights and Foglights
Here's a look at the pair of HID headlights we ended up making also. The fog lights didn't turn out so great once I put an amber bulb in them so I'll have to come up with a better idea for those. I try to stay away from aftermarket LED stuff, but I may end up opening the light back up and trying to put some different bulbs in.
Re: Customized Cadillac STS Headlights and Foglights
hey i know this isnt the right place to ask but I figured i may as well, My headlights started leaking i guess (theres always a fog/mist in the headlight)
How to I repair this and prevent it in the future?
Re: Customized Cadillac STS Headlights and Foglights
Some company used to sell an aftermarket version of those for STSs, but I'm pretty sure they went out of business. I can't even find pics of them anymore.

Re: Customized Cadillac STS Headlights and Foglights
I think the led halo looks great. I saw a pic from some Russian site of an STS with custom angel eyes and I've been planning to do this to mine, Just want to make sure I use the correct kinds and materials before attempting it. Would you be able to help with a link of a site where you got yours? The mm size of the ring and etc?
Re: Customized Cadillac STS Headlights and Foglights
Unless the Halo's come stock, its not worth the headache of replacing them a few times, during the time you own them. I heard many complaints about people opening their headlights more times than they wanted to, cus their halos stop working. Its not just plug-in and never have to worry about them. Plus, you need delicate hands and dont bump them hard. They do break easy. Also, the signal wont be a factor with the PO-PO's, as long they blink amber.
I've looked everywhere. I wonder if you might remember what size (mm) the halos are for the 05+ STS?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch, ride looks very nice man!
