Hello new to the Freelander 2 just got one for my wife! i have noticed the front fog lights are not working. I have changed the bulbs and the fuse and still nothing?? Any ideas? Is it a common fault could not really find anything online. Any help appreciated

Can you tell us more about your car?
Model and year, has it been face lifted etc these are factors that may explain a few things.

Welcome to Freel2 also, you'll get plenty of answers and help

Hello its a late 08 GS model with the face lift?? So far ive been very impressed with it. was not a real fan when the wife suggested getting one but now im hooked. Just aniggling thing i want soreted really

Not 100% but I think at least side lights have to be on for them to work.

Yeah tried with main lights on? The fog lights on the back work ok and both sets of light illuminate on the dash as if working??

tried with the engine running?

Check to see if you have the relays....they may have been removed

Be careful not to pulll any out however!!! MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

you say its an 08 GS model but possibly with a facelift ??

If your grill is partway down the front bumper/light surrounds then its the pre-facelift and if the grill is higher up and meets the bonnet line then its the facelift. Also if your fog light surrounds are round its the pre facelift, squarer surround is post facelift.

If a previous owner has swapped out the front bumper for a newer (2011 spec) bumber have they actually connected the fogs ?

That was my first thought, facelift the car and not connect the lights back up, the lights will come out through the front of the bumper, fairly easy and will prove if they are connected.

Yeah they were deffo connected when i changed the bulb the only thing i can think of if the relay has gone?

Switch connected?

Sorry for being ignorant but how can i tell? all i know is that the unit was connected whilst removing the light and the fog lamp indicator light comes on in the dash. The bulb has been changed along with the fuse!

yes, quite right, the switch is working if he gets the dash

"The front fog lamp indicator is illuminated on receipt of a medium speed CAN bus signal from the CJB. The indicator is
illuminated in a green color if the vehicle is in power mode 6 and front fog lamp operation has been requested."

I'll get my coat

Replace the relay then??????
