The headlight assembly on your vehicle is an aftermarket part that's supposed to provide good visibility when you're driving at night. However, it doesn't meet safety standards because it's missing a crucial amber side reflector.
Risk if Unfixed
If the reflector is missing, your headlights won't provide the best possible visibility, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your supplier 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.

Your vehicle's corner and bumper lamp assemblies are the lights on your car that provide visibility when parking or driving at night. In some aftermarket lights sold for your vehicle, the amber side reflectors are missing.

Risk if Unfixed
If the amber side reflectors aren't there, other drivers might not see you as clearly when you're changing lanes or turning, which could lead to a crash.
