You may be able to find a 12V to 4.5v Pulse width modulator. That would allow you to go from 0 to 4.5 volts. I've never looked for a 4.5, but have bought 5v, 6v, and 12v. I would think a 5V would work fine. They are usually $3 to $5 free shipping.

Not sure about your light, but all the LED "bulbs" and panel I have installed were reverse polarity protected. But make sure to wire positive to positive and negative to negative.
