Your vehicle may be equipped with special aftermarket headlight assemblies that don't meet safety standards. These lamps are missing a critical component that helps make your vehicle more visible to other drivers.
Risk if Unfixed
If these headlight assemblies are on your vehicle, visibility could be reduced, making it harder for other drivers to see you. This could increase the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
You should contact DOPE, INC. to arrange for a refund for the non-compliant headlight assemblies. This service is free, and you can reach them at 1-626-272-1798.

Your vehicle's corner and bumper lamps are the lights on the outside that help others see your car, especially at night. Some aftermarket replacement lights sold for your vehicle don't meet safety standards because they're missing a crucial reflective piece.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the required amber reflectors, your lights may not be visible from the side, making it harder for others to see your vehicle. This could lead to a vehicle crash.
