Since it happened when you hit the hi/low switch, I'd check that.

Power from headlight switch goes into hi/low switch before fuses,
headlights. Pretty sure there isn't a headlight relay unless one was
installed aftermarket (or at least I don't see one in Bentley wiring
diagram). The clicking you hear is likely the mechanical aspect of switch
itself.

I imagine testing hi/low switch would be a matter of pulling the plug on it
and checking continuity.

If one were certain about how to jumper the plug, that should confirm if all
else ok.
