I bought my LEDs from Lighthouse, put 8 of em in before I realized that they are reversed polarity to the ones that come OEM (relative to the outline/45 degree angles corner) and had to bust ALL 8 of them back out (clipped them out with wire cutters, heated solder and individually pushed the pins out, twisting with pliers to get them detached from the last bit of solder, at times) after hours of fearing I had fried the circuit being hasty.

TLDR; CHECK POLARITY BEFORE INSTALLING
