    I'm seeing online that LED's are capable of being installed backwards, but I changed out both brake lights and both reverse lights, and all four are now not working. Tail lights and turn signals work just fine. Checked "STOP" fuse and it's okay.

    There's a STRONG possibility I muffed something up, but does anyone know what else it could be?

    Did you pull the LEDs and confirm polarity?

    How do you verify that polarity? I didn’t notice any markers on the LED’s.
