I think that model has a somewhat unusual circuit where the high / low switch switches the ground side of the bulbs instead of the live side. You can't use a plug and play set intended for the conventional system where the live side is switched.

As for the clicking sound, jack up one side at a time and turn the wheel by hand to see if you can replicate it. If so, take the wheel off and find out exactly what it is.
