Polarity of LED navigation light

[eddystone]

Last year I bought an AAA stern light as I couldn't get a replacement lens for the existing. It has an LED bulb but there are no polarity marking on the terminals, and no fitting instructions. Any thoughts?

If he's swapped them to LED though, they do care?

Most of the LED replacement bulbs have a bridge rectifier so work either way round.

Just fit the bulb, if it works great, if not turn it around. You won't hurt an LED by fitting it reverse polarity.
