Did you do any work under the dash? Add a relay?

There should be no reason for a click noise under the dash, if you just swapped out the old tail lights for LED tail lights.

As far as LED tail lights I purchased the Rugged Ridge Price was about $280 shipped. It was the only company offering 5 year warrenty. Its been 7 months and they are still functional and no water or water vapor.

NO no work done in the dash, it only happens when it's in park, not drive or reverse, weird, the lights were $200 with the shipping, they function great just that click in park

If you have an Automatic. The clicking sound you are hearing is the switch that goes to your gearshift. The safety feature that won't let you shift unless you apply the brake. Mine does it. Most of the time I don't notice it unless it's quite

Put your hand right by the base of the gearshift and apply the brakes. You can feel the clicking sound.

Yeah same thing happened to me it scared me right after I had to slam my breaks super hard on the freeway because this lady cut me off I scared her after but after that I heard that sound and I thought it had to do with me slamming my breaks. Until I took the whole center console apart and couldn't find anything wrong!
