Default Replaced headlight bulbs, weird noise though

Hi All,

Figured I would post another question. I just replaced my stock bulbs with silverlights. I'm kind of paranoid about the work I've done, but now (and it may have always been there) when I click on the parking lights (which I mistakenly pulled out originally) I hear this clicking noise in the car cabin.

Like I said, I don't know if that sound always existed, so I figured I would ask. I know the switch itself kind of clicks into position. But literally there is a click that comes from the glove compartment now.

Any ideas? Or is that normal.

Thanks all!

No idea, but I'd watch those silverstars closely. My buddy torched one of his fogs with them... But then again he may have touched it when he put it in.

That was the one thing I was careful of. Was not touching the bulb.

You should be good, not sure about the clicking noise though buddy someone will chime in.

The clicking sounds like the internal dash lights turning on almost, but if it has been there I've never noticed. So I'm just paranoid I screwed something up.

I think the click I hear is the relay. I'm assuming that is normal?

Maybe, I just realized you had a 2011 so it may be different.
