The headlight assembly on your vehicle is made by DOPE, INC. and is used to provide light on the sides of your vehicle. In some cases, these assemblies don't have the required side reflectors, which could affect how visible your vehicle is to other drivers.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the side reflectors, your vehicle may be harder to spot in low-light conditions, which could lead to a collision.
Free Fix
Your vehicle's headlight assembly will be replaced with a compliant one, and you'll receive a full refund for the non-compliant assembly. This service is free, and you can contact DOPE, INC. at 1-626-272-1798 to schedule the repair.
