Noise when I turn on my headlights

I hear a clicking noise when I turn on my headlights. When they are off there is no noise. Anyone with some insight? Thanks.

could be wrong but i think its normal. Sometimes i hear my headlights like warm up.

If you are talking about like a metal sounding clunk noise from low to high beams this is normal its the like (for lack of a better word) face plate thing moving

you need to elaborate and add more detail.
when did you notice this?
does it remain clicking the whole entire time the headlights are on?
only clicks once?
only clicks twice?

click when switching to high beams?

What does it do!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

When I turn on the headlights it's constant ticking. When they are off no ticking. Hope that helps?

thats not normal.

How loud is the ticking?
can it be heard from the drivers seat with the windows up?


but I mean, if they still work....then ignore the noise.
unless you want to go hunting for a noise then by my guest.

No you can hear it only from outside. Something to due with the cold weather. I'm hoping its not that serious.

I hear noise as well but I think it's there when it's cold. I usually just ignore it.
