Same here... Put in a couple of LED marker lights they are polarity sensitive.. one other issue too. about 5 fuses later I figured out the other issue. work great now.
As I and others said. Some add a diode bridge so the polarity is not an issue
Some do not.
There are a couple base designs
The "Bayonet" base (1136/1141 are two examples) you can not "Turn it over" unless you make a 2 part bulb Some companies do that some use bridges and some you have to rewire.
The Wedge base.. Well if they don't work try turning 'em around (My Marker light was like that).
