Brake lights not turning on ! Could be an easy fix ?

What type of aftermarket lights? LED’s? I installed digitails in my demon and went to an electronic flasher. I did have to swap the wires at the flasher due to the polarity of the LED’s. I don’t remember exactly all the issues but they did not operate correctly until I swapped. Point being they are polarity sensitive.
My lights are stock but I do also plan to swap them for LED such because I feel like I would be much safer in the road with brighter ones on.
Thank you for the pointer
