So you bought the $5 LED fixtures and found out your coach's wire polarities have changed over the years... even from fixture to fixture. Despair not. Invest a few bucks:

Now, for 17 cents a fixture,connect the two coach wires - doesn't matter which where - to the two ~ ~ terminals on the bridge. Connect + and - to + and - on the fixture. Polarity insensitive now!. /This actually works for anything polarity sensitive as long as the bridge ratings exceed the load.
