Default Question to those that have swapped door panel leds...

I have my soldering iron all heated up and was about to swap the leds until I noticed they were different. The difference in size did not startle me, however. It was the fact that I could not locate a mark of polarity in which would be direction to solder the new leds. My question is how do I now which way the new leds go in if the old ones have no markers?

swap is done! It looks amazing, much brighter than stock and than I expected. The blue looks really nice. I left my door panels on the grass while soldering in my house when it was getting dark and when I was putting them back on I noticed two slugs on the plastic! I flicked em off with my finger and finished the install to check out another successful install. Everything is so far so good - hvac with engifineer mod up tomorrow!
