Adding LED light fixtures question

That is true for 120V fixtures. 12V fixtures would not generally have a ground wire, and the wire colors may be a little more varied. If black and white, black is generally positive and white negative (which is usually chassis ground). If red and black or red and white, red is positive. If some other combination, your guess is as good as mine.

Occasionally there might be only one wire, with the mounting serving as the negative (ground) connection. That would be much more common for general vehicle lights like running lights or turn signals than for lights intended for RVs in particular.

Normally light fixtures have a black wire (hot), white wire (neutral) and maybe a green ground wire.

Or just change out the bulbs (lamps) in the existing incandescent fixtures.

Ok, thanks,

Now for another question: Do the new LED fixtures come with the wires or terminals marked for (+) and (-)?

I don't know. Try it both ways. No harm.

Same thing, just get the polarity right.

Polarity! LED lights must be connected correctly.
