LED Conversion 2013 230FBS Tracer

I just finished converting all incandescent lights to LED's but not without a moment of head scratching and maybe a little cussing.
The lamp over the dining table requires two 1056 bayonet type bulbs. Initially the LED (HOT SYSTEM™ 1156 7506 1003 1141 LED SMD 18 LED Bulbs Interior RV Camper Cool White 6-pack by HOT SYSTEM) did not work.
After trying two more with the same results, I put one in the work light near the trailer tongue and it worked fine so I checked the lamp with my multi-meter and discovered a reverse polarity.
I simply switched the hot and ground wires at the wire nuts in the lower end of the lamp and they now work fine.
I guess with a bayonet style bulb, polarity is not taken into consideration so just wanted to put this out there as an FYI.
