Higher quality LED lamps aren't polarity sensitive, which is a good thing in the even a light fixture happens to have it's hot and ground wires reversed.
All the LEDs I am using from www.ledtrailerlights.com are the same as yours in the way they function, they work regardless of polarity.

You might need to change the wires on the back of the light. The electricity has to flow in a certain direction on LED bulbs. Pull the light fixture out and switch the wires around.

I just bought two new lights for the stairs yesterday and hooked them up to my jumper battery pack both ways and they either way.
Go figure.

Agree with all
Switch the wires - LED's are polarity sensitive
Someone wired the lights wrong but with filament bulbs it doesn't make any difference
Just went through the same thing.
