Not necessarily. My third brake light installation uses LEDs and my car is
Positive ground. You just have to find them.

Tim -
A couple things to keep in mind here.
1) LED lights almost exclusively need to work with negative ground, so your
car must be negative ground.
2) LEDs come in all kinds, and the cheaper variety are almost always dimmer
than a standard 1157 bulb.
This means you must buy a proper LED bulb. I have looked the world over for
good bulbs, and have found only one supplier that consistently provides a
superior product. It is these guys:
http://superlumination.com/1156_1157.htm
Their first listing on the page looks quite interesting (it's new), very
bright and has a proper taper to the bulb to fit in the 1157 socket.
They ship worldwide. If their system won't let you ship to the Uk, just
send them an email and they will sort it out. I have them send stuff to
Hong Kong all the time. Not cheap, but the product is the best stuff on the
market. Brighter than Halogen bulbs - actually if you look at it straight
it can hurt your eyes. Perfect for our cars that have little tiny lenses.
Cheers,
Alan
