Default Relay Buzzing and Highbeams problem

Hi guys,
I am having this problem with my 03 Civic, when engine is on and I try to put it on high beams it makes a funny buzz coming from behind the glove box. The DRL lights work fine, but the high beams just work on left side (already tried to change the bulb). When I removed the glove box to see what is happening I noticed that the buzzing is coming from this 2 relays (picture bellow).
Sorry, I am really noob in electronics and I might be insulting your intelligence with those questions, but how do I take this things off (I tried by hand, but was afraid of forcing and breaking as I don't have the replacement yet) and replace them? I tried to search on amazon for replacements, but the circuit always seem a bit different.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Jonathan

Resolder the contacts in the DRL module. Common issue. Search here and Youtube for the fix... Search on "Buzzing DRL"

Thank you so much NDNV. That was exactly the DRL module, I resoldered it and everything is working perfectly. I came across this DRL module thread before actually, but as the noise was coming from the glove box, I though my problem was different.
Anyway, I'm very happy with solving it so thanks and I'll post the youtube video that helped me so that can help others.


Cheers!
