The corner and bumper lamp assemblies in your vehicle are the lights that attach to the front and rear of your car. Some of these lamps, made by Dope, Inc., don't have the required side reflectors.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the side reflectors, your headlights won't be as visible to other drivers, which could cause a crash, especially at night or in low-light conditions.
Free Fix
Dope, Inc. will give you a full refund for the non-compliant lamp assemblies. Contact them at 1-626-272-1798 to initiate the refund process.
