ok. I installed sleepy eyes in my car I now I have just noticed that when I start my car I have this ticking sound coming from under the dash, it sounds like if you have your hazards on but not exactly, it is a little bit slower paced, I don’t know if it has anything to do with the sleepy eyes, but I don’t recall having it before I installed them. thanx will ---

You installed sleepy eyes? What’s that supposed to mean? Do you mean the Pivot controller or did you simply cut the green (or brown?) wire on the headlight popup button and put a switch in between? ---

I did the sleepy eye already, just forgot which wire I cut (green or brown - or something else all together). I know there’s a diagram on NICO or one of the other forums. Just gotta search. ---

My way gets the job done, and my relays still work so hush down Jesse. Anyways dude, just listen around for which relay is clicking and figure it out, then you can trace the problem.
