even though they are LED's, you still needed resistors right?
If you have issues with the CAN-B the relay should fix them.
I use relays for pretty much everything. Instead of more of a load on the circuit that I want to interact with, I use that as a turn on signal. (if that makes any sense.)

No resistor. I have LED's in all the interior lights, high mount stop light, cargo lights and license plate lights and don't have any issues with them. I do know when i go for the turn signals that I will need a resistor to keep the flasher happy. What is the CAN-B anyway and what kind of issues?

NC law states: c) It is unlawful for any person to possess a blue light or to install, activate, or operate a blue light in or on any vehicle in this State, except for a publicly owned vehicle used for law enforcement purposes or any other vehicle when used by law enforcement officers in the performance of their official duties. As used in this subsection, unless the context requires otherwise, "blue light" means any forward facing blue light installed on a vehicle after initial manufacture of the vehicle; or an operable blue light which:
(1) Is not (i) being installed on, held in inventory for the purpose of being installed on, or held in inventory for the purpose of sale for installation on a vehicle on which it may be lawfully operated or (ii) installed on a vehicle which is used solely for the purpose of demonstrating the blue light for sale to law enforcement personnel;
(1a) Is designed for use by an emergency vehicle, or is similar in appearance to a blue light designed for use by an emergency vehicle; and
(2) Can be operated by use of the vehicle's battery, the vehicle's electrical system, or a dry cell battery.
(c1) The provisions of subsection (c) of this section do not apply to the possession and installation of an inoperable blue light on a vehicle that is inspected by and registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles as a specially constructed vehicle and that is used primarily for participation in shows, exhibitions, parades, or holiday/weekend activities, and not for general daily transportation. For purposes of this subsection, "inoperable blue light" means a blue‑colored lamp housing or cover that does not contain a lamp or other mechanism having the ability to produce or emit illumination.
So even though the initial section pertains to "forward facing" blue lights, section 2 makes it apply to any blue light that is powered by the vehicles electrical system, i.e. interior lights. Guess I should have read the law first....lol
