The headlight assembly on your vehicle is the part that provides light when you're driving at night. In some aftermarket headlight assemblies, the amber side reflectors are missing, which is a safety requirement.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the required amber side reflectors, your headlights might not provide enough visibility to other drivers, which could lead to a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
You should contact DoPE, Inc. to arrange for a full refund for the non-compliant headlight assembly.

Your replacement corner lamps, turn signals, and headlights may not have the amber side reflectors that help make your vehicle visible to other drivers. This is a safety issue because the reflectors help other people see your vehicle when you're turning or changing lanes.
Risk if Unfixed
If your vehicle is poorly illuminated, especially at night, you might not be seen by other drivers, which could lead to a collision without warning. This could happen when you're turning or changing lanes, especially in low-light conditions.
