Come to think of it now... no I don't think they were. I do remember I commented to my wife that I somehow manage to put them all in the right way because they all lit up the first time.Barry, about to do the same. Did you find the those LEDS from Superbright to be sensitive to polarity?
I will tell you that I thought I'd try something different and put in BLUE LED's in the dash binnacle. While they might look cool, you can't see the gauges worth a crap. Christian Dietrich has some type of Blue LED's in his car that are different than the stock sizes and look way better than what I ended up with.
