Pardon my dyslexia, I meant to say if you have a positive ground Healey, a =
typical LED lamp bulb replacement will likely not work, negative ground Hea=
leys will be fine.  An incandescent bulb indeed does not care about polarit=
y.  Sorry for my absentmindedness!

While it may work fine, and it doesn=E2=80=99t matter if the battery chargi=
ng device is a generator or alternator, LED bulbs do care about polarity, s=
o if you have a negative ground Healey, check with the bulb manufacturer to=
 see if the bulb you need/want is available for negative ground polarity.

Yes it will work just fine--bulbs do not care about polarity or source of p=
