I wonder if I have all the led wires on right?

There is a small arrow on one side of the plastic end that plugs onto the pins. does this indicate pos or neg?

Thanks,

If the arrow points towards the LED that'd be the positive.

On pre-wired LED's , the white wire is the ground, the colored wire is the positive.(AFAIK)

Plug it up and try it, unless you overvolt them they won't blow just hooking them up backwards.

I dunno, if you have a bundle of LED's and a horde of black wires, like one each, then a lot of colored wires, I'd assume that the black would be the negative in that case.
