HI,

How can i create a circuit for LED to turns-on on any polarity?
 

If you mean any polarity on input signal (e.g. 110/230V utility line) then try to make full wave rectifier. You can arrange DC voltage level in . Only by zero signals LED is going to be off.
 

I mean, the circuit will operate in any direction the DC supply connected.
 

Then you connect it together with a regular rectifier circuit.
 

If polarity may vary you have to treat that signal the same way as if it was ac ..
For switching polarity you need a rectifier bridge followed by a standard resistor-LED configuration .. see attached picture ..

Rgds,
