You should be able to just the replace the resistors. On second thought, the LED across the coil was a bad idea.
Maybe someone else has a suggestion on that one. "No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."

There’s uses an opto-isolator, so shorting the LED should work. In your case, the 1K resistor on the base will load the GPIO too much. I used a 10K base resistor with a 100K pull down. Basically multiply both of your values by 10 and you8 should be fine. I would hook the LED in parallel with the relay coil.
