The headlight assembly on your vehicle is a replacement part that includes the corner and bumper lights. The one you have might not have the necessary reflectors to make you more visible to other drivers.
Risk if Unfixed
If your headlight assembly doesn't have the right reflectors, you could be less visible to other drivers, especially at night or in foggy conditions. This could lead to a car crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the non-compliant headlight assembly with a new one that meets safety standards, and you'll get a full refund for the replacement part. This service is free to you.
