Default Weird noise coming out of my 2012 headlights
I installed my new headlight yesterday and there is a sound coming out when i light them up

Ive also try with my old ones and doing the same thing
Ive never check before installing if it was doing this

Is it normal? I dont think so.

I think they all do that. Mine make a similar noise. I can't tell from your video how loud it is compared to mine but I think it's normal.

Yup they all do it... might be less loud after warm up. Nothing you need to do or can do to change it.
