Default flickering lights/ clicking while in reverse

I have a 2003 Chevy Impala, and I recently had one of the headlight assemblies replaced. Now there's a clicking in the fusebox (the drive relay), but especially when in reverse. At the same time the lowbeams are constantly flickering, even when the car is off. I replaced the relay, so I suspect that there's a short somewhere...any thoughts?

Unplug the headlight to see if it stops. This needs to be isolated .

I disconnected the light and the clicking/ flickering still continues.

I noticed that it wasn’t happening when I started the car again this afternoon (after having removed the relay fuse overnight and reinstalling it before starting the car), but it reappeared after putting the sat in reverse. Now it’s not going away.
