The headlamps on your vehicle are important for visibility on the road. However, the aftermarket headlamps installed on your car might be missing a crucial safety feature - amber side reflectors.
Risk if Unfixed
If your headlamps don't have these reflectors, it could be harder for other drivers to see your vehicle at night or in low-light conditions, which may increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will provide a full refund for the non-compliant headlamps. You should contact DOPE, INC. at 1-626-272-1798 to initiate the refund process.

The headlight assemblies on your 2003-2006 Honda Accord were installed by a third party (not Honda), and they may not be shining correctly. The lights are supposed to be aimed to help you see the road ahead, but these might be off-target.
Risk if Unfixed
If the headlights aren't shining where they should, you could have reduced visibility on the road, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This could make it harder to see pedestrians, other cars, or obstacles, and increase the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
