Default no lights except high beams

i have no daytime running lights or low beams only high beams, replaced fuses, drl relay, and multifunction switch. when i put my car in gear i hear this clicking noise that i believe is coming from the fuse box on the left side of the dash it goes away after about 10 seconds any suggestions what else to look at

Your headlight relaysare trying to engage but have nothing to relay power to, so after 10 seconds, it gives up to keep from ruining the relay. Most likely you have two blown bulbs.
