Product Description
Cadillac XT5 2017-2026 Stainless Headlight Accent Trim, 2 Pieces (HL57260)
HL57260 covers a long stretch of Cadillac XT5 production: the Fitment row lists the 4-door SUV for every model year from 2017 through 2026, ten years in all. The kit is two pieces of polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, each with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
The catalog doesn't spell out a width or the exact mounting spot on or around each headlight, so the product photos are your placement guide. Use the gallery to work out each XT5 accent's spot, then dry-fit it with the liner on before committing. If the fit isn't clear, call us; it's much easier to answer a question before the tape touches the surface than after.
No drilling is involved, since the trim installs directly over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Inspect each mounting area for chips or flaking finish and repair it first, because the bond depends on a firm surface. Then wash, rinse, dry and degrease. Mark each piece's position with painter's tape at the ends, peel the liner, and press firmly along the full length. With both pieces done, check them from straight in front of the SUV, then press each piece again. The Installation tab has the full steps.
The XT5 sheet stands out for its pillar post choices. PP57260 and PP57261 are four- and six-piece sets. PP57262 has ten pieces and is noted as including two front pillars, in front of the mirror. PP57263 has twelve pieces and includes two front pillars plus one triangle piece, also in front of the mirror. If you want the posts ahead of the mirrors covered, the ten- and twelve-piece sets are the ones that say so. Also cross-listed are GC57260, a one-piece gas door cover trim; LP57260, a one-piece license plate bezel; and RD57260, a one-piece rear deck accent at 1.25 inches. RW57260 and WQ57260 are listed by number only. Check each listing for its finish and photos.
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright accent at the XT5's headlights, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps it slim. Install on a dry, mild day and let the tape set overnight before washing. Clean it afterward with mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive pads.
With ten model years on one row, this part number covers many XT5s; still, check your year before ordering. The headlight accents are a good front-end starting point, and the pillar sets carry the look along the windows if you decide to go further.
For the cleanest result, do the headlight accents on a day when the SUV has been parked in the shade, so the surfaces are cool and dry but not cold. Finish one piece completely before starting the next, and keep the second piece on its liner until you need it. Questions? Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention HL57260.

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.
