Watch out for some bright lights as the 2008 Cadillac Escalade Platinum edition arrives in town. The newest version of this SUV is well equipped and quite lavish. This will be the first vehicle with LED headlights that is mainstream. Light emitting diode technology (LED) has many advantages to conventional car lights. First and foremost, LED bulbs end up lasting much longer. In fact, they will likely survive throughout the life of the car. This cuts down on the hassle of motorists having to replace light bulbs. Another advantage is that LED lights are much brighter and have a clean look. The lighting can be intense, but it features a daylight color that looks natural.

LED lights are being used more commonly, but were only used in brake lamps, tail lamps, and the interior of cars until now.

Several high-end European carmakers have used LED lights in headlamps. However, they were only used in models with low volume. However, with the Platinum series, Cadillac has hopes of selling around 10,000 Escalades that will have the new LED headlights.

Motorists have made the Escalade a popular choice in the past, and are looking forward to this new version. And with new car warranties, consumers can rest assured that they are making a wise purchase.
