quick question scorpion:

I got a kit from www.pcmods.com . When I installed it i used a 12v lighted rocker switch from the shack. When i flipped the switch on the light from the rocker came on, but the cold cathode just sat there... I know it worked before cause i hooked it up with the switch it came with. I investigated a little and found that i reversed the power and ground going to my rocker switch.

My questions: Is the inverter on a cold cathode kit sensitive to a polarity change? Did I mess up the inverter? If so is the bulb alright still?
