The corner and bumper lamp assembly on your vehicle is a special light that helps other drivers see your vehicle from the side. In some after-market lamps sold for use on your vehicle, the amber side reflectors are missing.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're driving at night and these lamps are not visible, it could be harder for other drivers to see your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
You'll receive a full refund for the non-compliant lamp assembly from Sabersport, and you should contact them directly at 1-909-598-7589 to arrange for the refund.
