The headlight assembly on your vehicle is the part that helps you see and be seen on the road. Some aftermarket headlight assemblies don't meet safety standards because they're missing an amber reflector.
Risk if Unfixed
If your headlight assembly is one of these non-compliant ones, it could reduce the visibility of your vehicle at night or in low-light conditions, which might lead to a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
Your vehicle's headlight assembly will be replaced with a compliant one, or you'll get a full refund for the non-compliant headlight assembly. This will be done free of charge, and you should contact Dope, Inc. at 1-626-272-1798 to schedule the repair.
