It depends on the fixture -- many newer LED fixtures use LED drivers that are polarity-independent, and also somewhat voltage-independent. So if your alternator is putting out 14.4 volts, you won't fry your 12-volt LED fixture.
If you're retrofitting raw LEDs into an existing fixture, then yes, they are definitely polarity-sensitive. Read the instructions that came with the LEDs or fixture -- it should tell you.
