You can tow a trailer with incandescent lights to a vehicle with LED lights. There are only issues on some vehicles when towing a trailer that has LED lights.
What allows you to use a T-connector type of wiring harness like # 118535 on a vehicle with LED tail lights like your 2007 Cadillac DTS is a powered converter.

I have some information that will help you locate the reverse light wire on your 2008 Cadillac DTS, but GM has been known to use different color wires from time to time for the taillight and backup light circuits.

I did some research and I have found various responses to this question from a blue wire with... view full answer...
Class III hitches that have a 2 inch opening are normally only used on higher capacity vehicles like trucks and SUVs.
