Customer from all the way up in Vermont sent me his Cadillac CTS-V headlights for a bit of custom lighting upgrades.
This one followed along the lines of our SEMA build we did for XS Batteries...but with an additional upgrade.
First off, stripped all of the chrome down to bare plastic then painted everything Gloss Black.
Then moved on to the projector lenses....swapped out the frosted OEM lenses to Clear Black Series lenses with a custom SheDevil Vixen logo the customer wanted....the lens provides with a much sharper output and cut-off.
I also did a Black Resting Demon Eye Paint to make the lens appear more 'dark'....as we also painted the turn signal and DRL buckets to make them appear 'dark' as well.
Next, on to the lighting.
We did Multi-colored RGB Demon Eyes, as well as Halos and Tube Accent Lighting.
While the factory Tube lighting still functions...it can't even compare to how bright the new RGB LEDs are....but because of how the technology is with the 5050 LED chips, the diffused CTS tube casts different colors at different angles....so the White on RGB is mixed with spurts of Green and Blue and Red....but very hard to pick-up unless told (or read on this bloggity blog)
Next, we stole the idea from a past project of mine.....where the owner made up some custom bent Glass tubes and I set 2 switchback Strips into them.....this was done to carry the look of the top headlight tube down and into the bumper area via the factory foglight housing.....kind of like what Cadillac is doing now with most of their vehicles (Escalade, ATS, etc)
I'll upload final pictures once the client gets the lights installed and wired up on the car.
