Hi guys

I noticed that every time I flick the high beams by pressing back on the stalk, or everytime I switch on the front fog lights, there is a clicking sound coming from the front right side (passenger side in my case). It seems to be coming from around the fuse box area in the front passenger footwell.

Any ideas if this is normal?

The headlamps are fitted with HID type lamps, the high beam operates a shutter mechanism within the lamp housing that simply allows all of the light through, in dipped mode the shutter creates the beam profile.
There will also be a relay in the fusebox that may be the source of the clicking, either way perfectly normal

as far as I know its normal, both mine did it.

Its the relay switching in the fuse box

Awesome, thanks guys!

Does not need to have HID lamps, 2013 MY with HB3 single filament bulbs also has shutter for dip.
The best non HID that Freelander has had since 2007. 3rd time lucky as projector lamps from 2010 were useless sorry no they were dangerous. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

Thanks for that I was wondering if it was a fault as my previous MY10 did not make such a clatter. B 1984 RR Vouge,H 1991 Disco 1, L 1993 Disco, N 1996 Disco, Y 2001 Disco, 53 Disco 2, 56 Disco 3, MY10 TD4 XS [Nav] Manual Rimini Red, MY13 TD4 GS Auto Firenze Red, MY15 Disco Sport SE Tech Firenze Red.
