Okay, I'm not worried about the accident part, we're here to get it fixed, that's all. When you say he changed the polarity, did he do this with the LED lights? Possibly switch power to the ground side of the LEDs? Because LEDs are diodes, (light emitting diodes), and a diode will only allow current to flow in one direction. So, reversing the polarity would do nothing, especially since your taillights were working before the changeover. I was reading through the info from the link you posted, I would go through and recheck all the fuses. There was a warning about disconnecting the battery before trying to install this set for whatever reason.
Below I'm posting the OEM diagrams and I only see one connector between the front marker lights and the rear taillights, and I think they even may have it labelled wrong. In the 1st diagram, the connector labelled EB1, there's no eb1 connector, so it has to be BE1 which is in the second diagram, pin 10 of that connector (third diagram, green wire) is the feed to diagrams 4 and 5 (green wire) which is your tail and license plate lamps.
Since the power for everything, front markers, parking lights and all the rear marker lights goes through the Tail Relay to that 7.5amp Tail fuse and then branches off and the only connector is that Eb (Be1), I would go to that connector and see if there is power there on pin 10. If not, you'll have to start going through all your fuses thoroughly.
I can't see how the fronts are working unless that connector got messed with or is not making a good pin contact inside. It can't be a bad ground since your Brake lights are working.
I'm also posting the aftermarket diagrams so you can see the entire circuit. But let us know what you find.
I added the warning I found
