Description

Bummed that your Escalade didn’t get the illuminated grille, but the Luxury Platinum and Escalade-V did? We were too — which is why we created the Cadillac Escalade-V Illuminated Grille Upgrade Kit! Now you can give your Escalade the bold V-style illuminated grille including the sequenced animation with true plug-and-play simplicity. This kit includes everything you need — including a custom HarnessDR harness — so you can enjoy factory-correct lighting without complicated wiring modifications. 

• Genuine OEM Cadillac Escalade-V Part – Factory-original GM grille with integrated LED perimeter illumination for a true premium look.

• Full OEM Warranty – Carries the full GM Parts Warranty; this is the same kit we sell to the dealer network.

• Complete Plug-and-Play Upgrade Kit – Includes all required components plus a custom HarnessDR wiring harness for simplified installation.

• No Extensive Wiring Modifications Needed – HarnessDR harness allows for plug and play LED functionality; no cutting, splicing, or specialized dealer equipment.

• Perfect Fit for 2025-2026 Escalade Sport and Sport Platinum  – Since this is an OEM part you’re going to get OEM fitment!

As noted above this kit only fits Sport and Sport Platinum out of the box due to Front Camera design. If you wish to use this on a different trim you’ll need to select the optional Camera when ordering as well as the optional upper trim for the hood. The main image shows a custom Black Cadillac Crest Emblem; that is not included. You will transfer your original Emblem over to the new Grille using the original screws.

FAQ

Q: Is this grille a genuine GM part?
A: Yes! This is a factory GM component featuring integrated LED illumination, designed to deliver the authentic V-Series look with OEM quality and reliability.

Q: Do I need to cut or splice any wiring?
A: Nope! For Sport and Sport Platinum trims, installation is completely plug-and-play using our HarnessDR™ harness — no cutting, splicing, or dealer programming required. Luxury and Premium Luxury trims can also use this grille by adding the optional Sport-style front camera and black hood trim for full functionality and visual match.

Q: Will this trigger errors or disable any vehicle features?
A: No. This kit is engineered to maintain all factory lighting behavior, including the signature approach animation.

Q: Is the emblem included with the grille?
A: No. The grille assembly is supplied without the Cadillac crest. You’ll reuse your original emblem and attach it using the factory screws for proper alignment and fit.

Q: Does this grille include the plug-and-play harness?
A: Yes. Every kit includes the WAMS-spec HarnessDR™ plug-and-play harness, designed specifically for the Escalade platform to ensure a clean, reliable installation.

Q: Does the plug-and-play harness match factory specification?
A: You betcha! Down to the EXACT proper factory connectors, seals, wire type, color and tracer color so any dealer technician would know what does what; just in case!

Q: How long does shipping take and how is it packaged?
A: Typical lead time is 5–8 business days from order to shipment. Grilles are shipped in reinforced OEM crates with expanding foam and other protective materials to prevent damage. Due to their size and dimensional weight, shipping to a commercial address may reduce costs.
