Alternator/generator doesn't matter; polarity does. Most alternator
conversions require conversion to negative ground--since pos. gnd.
alternators aren't common--so just get LEDs with the correct polarity
for your car (likely neg. gnd.). The 'D' in LED stands for diode, which
block current flow in one direction, so if you get the wrong one the LED
won't produce light.
In attached photo, 1157 LED is in driver-side (LHD) light; orange tint
is camera bias, the light is red.
