Default Sewell 2013 Headlight Upgrade - Question on the Included Relay and Hyperflash

Does anyone know if the relay that comes with the Sewell 2013 headlight upgrade works with LED blinkers in the Front & Rear? I realize that it was provided as the old headlights had 2 bulbs in the front and now the new ones have only 1 bulb.

Will the upgraded relay handle LED bulbs in the front and back or will I still hyperflash?

I'm trying to figure out if I need to buy the relay that V-LED's sells:

I plan on getting the following LED bulbs and want to avoid hyperflash:

Thanks!

Don't think it'll work. On my 2011, I changed out the rear turn signals to LED and had hyper flashing.

Nope, 2011s with the LED lights already came with the updated flasher relay. I just added resistors to the turn signal wires to stop the hyper flashing.
