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?

Re: LED Tailights
if the lamps are wired with one side grounded through the mounting in a way that you can not alter it, you are out of luck. If you can get to the wires and reverse the power and ground leads, then they would work.

Re: LED Tailights
I went with 6 volt LEDs I found on E Bay that work fine in a positive ground. No mods, they work great right out of the box on 6 volts, positive ground. Very bright! No need to change wiring or voltage.
