Noise after turning off headlights / parking lights

[turboimpala]

When I turn off my head lights or even just the parking lights there is a clicking noise somewhere under the hood.
Quite noticeable maybe 5-10 clicks.
Anyone have any idea what that is?
Is it normal?
Thanks.

It could be the headlight motor starting to go. open the hood and have a friend turn youhead light on then off . you should be able to locate the noise from that . hope that helps.

More than likely not the motor, but the actual gear iteself or also the bushings may have deteriorated.

What's strange to me is that if I turn on the parking lights only, then turn them off, I still hear the noise. Does that make sense considering the headlights were not turned on in the first place?

yep...headlight bushings.
