The headlight assembly on your vehicle is the part that helps drivers see you coming from the side and rear. Unfortunately, some aftermarket headlight assemblies, including the one you might have installed, don't meet safety standards and are missing a reflective amber side light.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the required amber side light, other drivers might not see you coming, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This could lead to a collision.
Free Fix
Dope Inc. will give you a full refund for the faulty headlight assembly. You should contact Dope Inc. at 1-626-272-1798 to arrange for the refund.

Risk if Unfixed
