I don't think they are the future of all cars even if you capitalize the freaking year a lot in your posts. They are just for luxury cars where the price isn't a big deal.

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.

In the first post, are you talking about added value as in resale type value or just general value? Because your second post seems to place LED headlights way above the general ones, or is that exagerated? Personally I would love to have LED headlights because anything that can make night driving easier works for me, especially if it ends up not blinding the drivers coming at me like a lot of the retarded headlights today do. I can see them not having them on the Camaro though for price issues.
