An 1141 bulb is just a normal bulb (BA15s base) with a single contact center tip, right?. All 12v sockets that I'm aware of for those are positive in the center and ground on the sides. Reversing an 1141 bulb (or LED) won't have any effect; it will work regardless. A BA15d base, on the other hand, has 2 contacts on the bottom of the bulb, and an LED bulb for that WILL need to be installed correctly, as will 921 wedge types. If it doesn't light up, remove and turn the LED assembly 180 degrees.
Here's my conversion.
