The combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are the lights that help other drivers see your car from the side. In certain aftermarket lamps, the amber side reflectors are missing.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the amber reflectors, your vehicle's side lights may be harder to see at night or in low-light conditions, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Sabersport will give you a full refund for the non-compliant lamps, and you should contact them at 1-909-598-7589 to initiate the refund process.

The low-beam headlamp on your vehicle is the light that shines down the road when you're driving at night. In some cases, this light might not be bright enough or bright enough to cause glare for other drivers.
Risk if Unfixed
If the low-beam headlamp isn't working right, you might have trouble seeing the road ahead, which could make it harder to drive safely, especially at night. Other drivers might also be blinded by the glare from your headlights.
