It's the fuse or the circuit engaging. It clicks when it goes off too. If you listen close enough, a lot of cars make the click because of the power that it draws. No biggie.

Actually its a relay clicking.

No problem, that's just the sound the relay makes. The Fog light switch does the same thing.
