The corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are the lights that illuminate when you turn on your turn signals or headlights. Some of these lights were sold as aftermarket equipment and don't meet safety standards because they're missing a crucial reflector on the side.
Risk if Unfixed
If the reflector is missing, the light may not be visible to other drivers, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This could lead to a vehicle crash because other drivers might not see you signaling or turning.
Free Fix
Sabersport will give you a full refund for the non-compliant lamps, and you should contact them directly at 1-909-598-7589 to arrange the refund.
