electrical problem

I get a weird clicking sound when the lights are off. Its goes away when I turn the lights on. What do you think I should do.

22 second Vid attached.

(at 9 seconds you can really hear the weird sound)

I've never heard anything like that before. It's hard to even guess without putting an ear under there and following the sound. I would be just grabbing at straws but it could be a chattering relay but I wouldn't know where to start without some schematics and following the sound.

I don't know what the wires are for but if it were me I would disconnect/remove any aftermarket wiring in that area or associated with the lights and see if that does anything.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
