Escalade Platinum will be the first SUV - and one of the first vehicles of any kind - to offer Light Emitting Diode (LED) headlamps. Used previously only on concept vehicles or exotic sports cars, LED headlamps mark another step in Cadillac's application of advanced lighting technology and design.
LED headlamps emit a greatly more precise light pattern, while emulating the characteristics of natural daylight much more closely than traditional auto lighting. LEDs are environmentally friendly, using much less power and lasting more than 20 times longer than traditional halogen bulbs. LED headlamps will be an enhancement added to the Escalade Platinum in the summer of 2008, shortly after the start of production of the Platinum model itself in the spring of 2008.

I wonder if these new LED headlights are going to be like the HID's from early 2000 that were getting stolen every day. I bet those cost a LOT. I remember Nissan Maxima's were known as an easy target. People would come out to see their hoods bent back and the headlights missing. This thing is already going to stick out like a sore thumb so I'd rather not have another excuse for someone to mess up my car.
