Yes, If I left non LED bulbs in the front then the Relay you recommended works pretty well and the rear had LED turn lights. But I could not put LED in the front. The Relay would make an unhappy constant noise. But, with the one I purchased and gave the number for all LEDs in front and rear turn signals work correctly. The one I ordered is the same number as the one I purchased from GW many years ago.
