I asked Jeff Lange a few months ago about that.
It's cheaper to make the same flasher in US than getting one from Japan; so in terms of replacements that's what you get. One could still get the Japan made one, you just need to find a source in Japan to get it or get a new 2011+ car which comes with it.

You need a new flasher so that it doesn't flash fast (which it does when you burn out a bulb -- or in the case of putting in the new headlights, remove a bulb).

2006-2010 headlights have 2 signal bulbs per headlight, your new headlights only have 1 signal bulb per headlight.

Yes as stock relays are not designed for LED.
The reason because is because the stock relay is expecting a certain value determined by the resistor which is inside. LED's the resistance is lower than that of a bulb (since LED's uses less power), therefore the stock relay hyper flashes because it thinks there is a bulb which is burned out.
This is one reason why I was in the works of modifying a stock one. If you put a lower resistance resistor such that the LED will work, it will not hyper flash; Some members have done this.
