Default Humount Wiring Question

I've done the search. My Humount is ready for install with one issue,
all of the wires for the L.E.D's are white, not red & black. How can I determine which is negative or does it matter on these?

I'm not an electrical major, sorry if its a stupid question

Yeah its because they are not LEDs. THey are just little light bulbs. So they are not polarity sensitive or whatever.

Kind of a joke because I was told it would be an led strip.

last 2 I installed they were polarity sensitive I had to hook em up to a battery one by one to see which way it went. IMO for the price its BS that they arent prewired. Ive only ever installed one blue one and it was a LED strip. Where as the last 2 were red and it was individulal LEDs not prewired which pissed me off

I got a red HUmount. All the wires were white, and white/black stripe. Very easy to wire up took about 10 min, only thing I had to do was extend the wires cuz they didn't reach far enough for me.

Loks great dude. how you like the blue and red combo between the Mount and the unit? Mine is the same way and I think it looks great, kinda breaks up all the red.

Here's some pics from when I did mine

Thanks for the pics, now you have me thinking. I was originally going to go for blue to match the HU, but I was also thinking of the stainless steel.

Looks good though...What was the finally cost shipped an all?
