There is some rule that you can't connect LED lights in series/parallel or whatever. It's 18W LED lights.

I take it that you're talking about indicators?
Your relay is probably the type that requires the drain from the resistance of bukbs wnd won't work with leds without ballast resistors. ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."

That look like you have 4 lights on all the time, even with the ignition off, unless you close one of the switches, at which point they turn off.
I think you have NO and NC mixed up.
NC = Normally closed. This terminal is connected to the feed when the power is off.
NO = Normally open. This terminal is NOT connected to the feed when the power is off, it connects when you power up the coil.
Other than that, that should work fine I reckon. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I'm going to go ahead and assume you are using these as additional running lights?
If it was me, I'd just run them all off one relay, triggered by the normal lighting circuit then fit an isolator switch for the headlights so you can knock those on and off at will. (can you think of a situation you wouldn't want the tail ones on when the lights are on? Or a situation where you'd want the LED lights without the headlights?).
Do consider if your charging system can handle an additional 36W. Most bigger bikes will. Some smaller bikes will not.
I'd probably do something like this for simplicity. The relay is mainly to stop you overcooking your headlamp wiring. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
