Your vehicle's headlight assembly is a crucial safety feature that helps you see and be seen while driving. Some aftermarket headlight assemblies don't meet safety standards because they're missing a reflective amber side reflector.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the required reflectors, your vehicle's visibility at night could be reduced, making it harder for other drivers to see you. This could lead to a collision.
Free Fix
Dope, Inc. will give you a full refund for the non-compliant headlight assembly, and you should contact them at 1-626-272-1798 to arrange the refund.

The amber reflectors on your vehicle's replacement combination lamps are supposed to make it easier for other drivers to see you when you're changing lanes or checking your blind spot. But some of these lamps are missing this safety feature.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the amber reflectors, your vehicle's lights might not be as visible to other drivers, which could lead to a crash — especially when you're changing lanes or merging with traffic.
