[TR] LED headlight conversion

It does have a bearing. There is some chance that the ballasts provide for reverse polarity, but it doesn't seem very likely to me.  For positive ground, you would need to use relays and make some wiring changes.  It would be easier to reverse the polarity on the car – a 5 minute job.

I like what I read about these lights.  Does positive/negative ground have any bearing here?  My '62 TR 3 still has positive ground and I have no intention of changing that.

I recently dug through the current offerings in this space, and decided
to put in the "Holley Retrobright" sealed beam LED units, made by
Morimoto. They're ... not cheap, but I liked the idea of fitting an
entire unit rather than worrying about the alignment and heat issues
associated with LED capsules in H4 housings.

Also, I was replacing sealed halogens, not an H4, so I would have had
the expense of decent E-code housings anyway.

I couldn't be happier with how they went in and how they work. No fan.
Big heat sinks on the housing. Easy/direct electrical connection. I
opted for "modern white" but you can get "old skool yellowish white" too :-)
