Hey;
So I ordered some LED lights that someone had posted here that were
available on eBay. I got them and now I'm attempting to get them to work.
These are lights in the kitchen and in the front room areas. I had
everything hooked up, then hit the On/Off switch and nothing happened. I
took the fixture down and looked at it. It seems that the switch unit
manufacturer decided to switch where the + side of the source voltage is
connected to the socket. The gnd side goes to the center post and the +
side goes to the side of the socket. I think these are reversed. So, I just
need to change the wires that are connected to the input of the fixture, so
the black goes to the white and the white goes to the black (I think they
got confused between 110v and 12v) in the new lights, but now I have to
drop every fixture to reverse the inputs. Just made an easy job and whole
lot easier.
What the light fixture looks like with the new LED lights (they are
bright)...

What the back of the switch looks like. You can see where the gnd wire goes
to the center of the socket instead of the white...
