Indicator / Blinker relay is the round thing on the bottom left of the fuse block under the drivers side dash. The other round thing in the upper right of the fuse block is the emergency flasher relay.

Stock relays are usually silver (aluminum), the ones you see here are electronic relays vs the old bi-metal heater style as those won't work correctly with the low current LEDs
