Default LED Tailights

I have contacted Bright Lights regarding their LED tailights for my 52 Vic. My car is positive ground 6 volts. They say their LED'S are negative ground. Therefore I assume these lights will not work on my car. What do you think?

IMO: Another good reason to convert to 12V.

No need to go to 12v. I bought LEDs for my 40 tail lights at 6 volts. They work fine and I have positive grounds. Look around on E Bay, you will find them cheap and they work great.
