afternoon all

The front offside fog lamp on my recently acquired '05 Freelander seems to be set in correctly.

it looks like the reflective cone inside has moved & the bumper on the out side has a very small scuff mark. ( my guess it a bird strike or something has done the damage )

The question & less of my theories - can anyone please advise if I can get into the lamp to re-adjust the cone? if so how?

Many thanks Mal

cheers for that, so does that mean I remove the whole lamp from the front of the car by removing the plastic surround to get to the back?

you should be able to access it in situ by getting to the rear of it.
you may need to unscrew the plastic valance

when you prise the plastic surrounds off
do so from the vehicle 'outside' ..
as towards the centre ( grill-side ) there's a plastic tab that can be accidently broken
as i found out :-/ .. though .. superglue rescued it

'n have a torch handy .. as the clips can dislodge and fall inside the bumper
