Hello all. Both headlamps failed last night on my model year 2013 freelander 2.
I've checked both bulbs and they look good, I changed one just to be sure and there was no change.
There's no fuse for the headlamps on this model and as I'm on holiday in the alps getting back to a UK dealer is not an option.
I understand there's a main junction box where the lights are wired to but I've no idea where it is and am not sure where to start looking for this.
I've left messages with the selling dealer in the UK but had no response so far and am a bit desparate so any ideas are welcome.

I would try a hard reset. May not work, but doesn't cost you anything!

Do you not have recovery insurance? The vehicle is illegal without headlights, so they should repair or recover.
Do your front fog lights still work? If so, that might suffice as a "get you home" option.
For anyone else worried about this, if your vehicle has front running lights, a dealer can reconfigure so that the rear lights come on at the same time. Not ideal, but could suffice to get you home if your headlights fail. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Thanks for the answers guys. I found it by luck. I opened up the passenger compartment fuse box and gave everything a push to ensure the fuses and components were all seated properly--no change, then did the same for the engine compartment box and tried again this time the lights came on. I can only guess that it was something to do with the main beam relay and/or a fuse which feeds through it. We had a bad crash with a deer a few months ago and although everything was fixed and working afterwards maybe a fuse or relay or one of the electronic components was slightly jarred out of position and then driving on the roads here completed the disconnection.
I can tell you I am a relieved man.
Thanks again.

Enjoy the rest of your trip! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

What are the road kill rules in Switzerland?
Any cheap venison coming back to blighty?

Glad you got it sorted!

It didn't happen in Switzerland, it was on the way back to the UK in March, driving through France at about 80 mph.
You wouldn't have wanted to eat any part of what was left of the poor beast.
