Product Description
Cadillac STS 2005-2008 Marker Light Surround Rings: 6-Piece Stainless Set (ML45236)
ML45236 is a six-piece set of polished stainless surround rings for the marker lights on the 2005-2008 Cadillac STS 4-door sedan. The note on the listing says the rings go to the "Front, Rear and Center" marker lights. That's three groups, but the record doesn't say how many rings belong to each group, or exactly which lights it calls "center." For that, the product photos are your reference, and if your car doesn't match them, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Is this the right STS?
The only fitment row is the Cadillac STS, model years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, tagged 4-door sedan. The title agrees. STS models from 2005 to 2008 are covered. If it's outside that range, this set isn't tagged for it.
What each ring is
All six are cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish and made in the USA. The part type is "Accent Trim." No ring size or width appears in the listing.
How they attach
Each ring mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and you don't remove the lights. For STS questions, ring 877-752-3811 with ML45236.
Six rings, three locations: a sorting plan
Mixing up rings can turn a simple job into a frustrating one. So before any liner comes off:
- Open the product photos and find each marker light on your car that a ring is shown around.
- Hold each ring up to a light with its liner still on and compare the shape.
- Write the location on the liner as soon as a ring matches, using the note's own words: front, rear or center, plus the side of the car.
- If a ring doesn't seem to fit anywhere, stop and call us rather than forcing it.
Preparing the surface
Wash around each light with soapy water and dry it. Wipe with rubbing alcohol and let it flash off. Look for chipped paint, old wax or polish residue along the lens edge; tape needs a clean, sound surface. A car from these years can carry years of wax layers, so take your time with the alcohol wipe.
Placing each ring
Look at the light straight on with the ring held in place. When the margin around the lens is even all the way around, put a small piece of painter's tape beside it as a reference. Peel the liner, set the ring to your mark, and press around the entire edge with your fingertips, staying off the lens. Move to the next light. When all six are on, walk around the car and check each ring once more. Work on a dry day inside the temperature range in the Installation tab.
Upkeep
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Steel wool and abrasive pads will scratch the polish. No other parts are cross-listed on this sheet; ask us about more STS trim at 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Accent Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
