On my Sundance, does the polarity of a 12v incandescent clearance light matter?

Are you asking about the bulb and how it goes into the socket? It should only go in one way and yes polarity matters with DC current. If you are asking about the entire light fixture, yes it does matter because if it is backwards the bulb will not light. Current going in the wrong direction.

It depends on if the bulb is incandescent or LED. The LED's are polarity sensitive and the old stile incandescent are not.
