Hi-Beam doesn't work...where do i start?

I recently purchased a '95 Magnum and while looking at it i noticed the hi-beam didn't work. The colored indicator light by the key would come on indicating the hi beam was on, but the light itself won't come on. So this weekend i went to swap the bulb. Upon pulling the old bulb, it looked just fine but i replaced with a new one anyway. Still didn't work. I followed the 2 yellow, 2 brown and 1 green light and I didn't see any signs of rubbing or fraying.

So i'm wondering if there's something else i need to check?

One thing i did notice and not sure if it means anything or not. When i slide the switch to turn from off, low beam and hi beams there is a clicking sound on each spot except for the high beam. Not sure if this means anything or if it could mean the switch itself is bad.

Thoughts?

Sounds like possibly the High Beam relay if you have one. that would be the clicking you hear with the low beams
