Re: LED Lights
You can get those relays at lots of places. I think most are designed for when you replace both the front and back indicator bulbs though.
You can get a more expensive relay that you can mix bulb types with.
Just google "12v LED flasher unit" and you should find plenty.
Just make sure the pin layout is the same as you have now.

Re: LED Lights
Just a thought........
Why don't they just build a resistor into LED indicator bulbs so nobody needs to mess with the relay.
Edit. Been googling and can see why they don't do a built in version, the resistor needed to handle the current is quite big and would get blooming hot. Relay it is then

Hi Robbie, yeah that was me...
Something like this you're after then:
http://www.rawcomponents.co.uk/relays-h ... relay.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
make sure you check the pin diagram against your original relay
