The corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are the lights that attach to the front and rear of your car. In some cases, these lights don't meet safety standards because they're missing a small reflective piece that helps other drivers see you at night.
Risk if Unfixed
If the reflective piece is missing, your vehicle's lights may not be visible to other drivers, making it harder for them to see you. This could lead to a collision.
Free Fix
Your dealer will offer a full refund for the non-compliant lamps, but you should contact Dope, Inc. directly at 1-626-272-1798 to arrange for the refund.

The amber reflectors in your turn signals and headlights are small pieces of glass that help make your vehicle visible to other drivers. Some replacement lamps sold for your vehicle might not have these reflectors.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're driving at night and your turn signals or headlights are missing the amber reflectors, they won't shine brightly, which could make it harder for other drivers to see your vehicle, and that increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will be in touch with you about a free replacement or a refund for the affected lamp. If you've already purchased a lamp without the amber reflectors, you can contact Pro-A Motors at 323-838-2988 to arrange a refund.
