Ultimately I didn't, because they're on for such little time.

If it was just a revving fan it would be no issue, but when I'm cruising at 800-900 RPM with the Meanwell just barely supporting base load, turning the turn signals on turns the meanwell off due to too much load for how low the input voltage is at those low RPMs. Then I have to be at 1200+ RPM for ~5 seconds for it to turn back on.

Doesn't your car just use a thermal flasher relay for the turn signals? You should be able to replace it to eliminate the hyperflash. Didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention from cops so I swapped mine.
What's the light setup on the front of the Ion? Thought it just had the headlights and turn signals, with the headlights functioning as optional DRLs.
