Product Description
Cadillac CT6 2016-2018 Stainless Headlight Accent Trim, 2 Pieces (HL56230)
HL56230 is a pair of polished stainless headlight accents for the Cadillac CT6 4-door Sedan, model years 2016 through 2018. The single Fitment row covers three years, so check your records to confirm your year before ordering. Each piece is 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
What the catalog doesn't tell you is the exact spot each piece occupies or its width, so the product photos are the reference for placement. Set both CT6 accents out, compare them with the gallery, and decide where each goes before a liner comes off. A dry fit with the liners in place lets you see how each accent follows the lamp, and painter's tape at the ends records the position.
The kit installs directly over the existing surface without drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. For the bond to do its job, the surface has to be clean and sound, so repair any chips or flaking finish where the pieces will sit. Wash the area, rinse, dry fully and wipe with a degreaser. Then peel one liner, set the piece against its tape marks, and press firmly along its length. Repeat with the second piece and check the pair from directly in front of the car before a second firm press on each. The Installation tab has more detail.
The CT6 sheet is short, with three cross-listed parts, all at the rear of the sedan. RD56230 is a one-piece rear deck accent at 0.75 inches wide. LB56230 is a two-piece license bar extension trim at 1.5 inches, and LP56230 is a one-piece license plate bezel. Together they cover the trunk lid and plate area, so with the headlight accents at the front, these brighten the CT6's back as well. Check each listing for its finish and photos. The license bar extension, at two pieces, is the one to study most closely, since the catalog doesn't explain what it extends.
Polished 304 stainless reflects light brightly, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps each piece slim and close to the surface. Install on a dry, mild day, when the tape bonds best, and let it set overnight before washing. Afterward, mild soap and a soft cloth are all it needs; avoid abrasive pads and harsh polishes.
A two-piece headlight kit is a manageable job for one person: unhurried time, cleaning supplies, and a roll of painter's tape. If anything about the placement is unclear after looking at the photos, call before you install rather than after.

Installation tips: Head Light Accent Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
